ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - A husband accused of shooting and killing his wife inside an Orange County home while her children were inside is set to have a first appearance before a judge on Thursday.

29-year-old Nelonza Pugh was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon. He is a suspect in the death of his wife, 29-year-old Brooke Jenkins.

A detective said video surveillance inside the home showed them enough evidence to arrest Pugh.

Jenkins was found deceased on Wednesday morning by her four children. Pugh is the father to some of the four children. They are between the ages two and 13. They are now in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
