Two people are dead following a murder-suicide Monday night in Boca Raton, police said.
Investigators said the shooting occurred at about 10 p.m. at an apartment along Northeast 45th Street.
Police said a man and woman were found dead inside their home after the woman called a family member shortly beforehand and said her husband wanted to kill her.
WPTV Reporter Zitlali Solache spoke with neighbors of the couple.
“I’m pretty surprised,” neighbor Cole Gamble said. “It’s been quiet in this neighborhood. Not much stuff usually happens around here.”
The family member could hear a disturbance in the background while on the phone and responded to the residence with other relatives, according to police.
Jason McGuire, a neighbor, witnessed the scene.
“Shocking, shocking is the word,” McGuire said. “I saw a gentleman trying to break into the window and the woman was saying in Spanish that her mom was inside hurt.”
After arriving at the home, a family member contacted Boca Raton police.
