Kadejah Williams, 22, and her 11-month-old son Tedashi Williams were also killed.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said information from witnesses led to the identity of Burnem's boyfriend Anderson. He was at the scene of the shooting with a gun, according to police.
He was arrested after the SWAT standoff for an outstanding warrant for possession of a firearm by convicted felon.
During the standoff, he reportedly refused to come out of the home and made suicidal threats against himself.
He asked to talk with Burnem's mom before he surrended.
"Don't kill yourself. You can tell your side of the story. Just surrender," she said she told him.
Police said he was banging his head on the cage of the police car, trying to injure himself while on the way to the jail.
Anderson then made suicidal threats at the jail. Officers had to hold him up to take the booking photo.
Officers believe multiple witnesses saw the mass shooting and have not come forward. They released several photos of people they believe saw the shooting. Police said they said they need to hear from these witnesses.
Wyllie Hodges with First Coast Crime Stoppers said so far, the organization has received 10 to 11 tips about the shootings.
