Osceola County deputies said Mark Velez-Amador, 24, Thaddeous Warrington, 19, and Lana Van, 17, were also involved in the shooting.
Osceola County deputies were dispatched to Bonita Circle in Kissimmee on Saturday at approximately 2 a.m following reports of a shooting.
Deputies said when they arrived, there was evidence that someone had been shot, but they could not find the victim or anyone else who may have been involved at the scene.
The next morning, Ocala Police Department officers responded to a brush fire in the Cala Hills area and that is when they discovered the body of Malik Brown.
