MIAMI — An investigation is underway after a man and woman died following an apparent murder-suicide that happened at a Northwest Miami-Dade home on Saturday morning.
Miami-Dade Police told CBS News Miami that officers were called out to a shooting at 12460 W. Randall Dr. around 8:30 a.m. When they arrived, they found the man, 40, and the woman, 39, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Police quickly closed off the street and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded but both died at the scene.
Police said that the preliminary investigation revealed that the man and woman, who were in a “domestic relationship” at one point but are now separated, got into a verbal fight that turned violent when he pulled out a gun and shot the woman before turning the gun on himself. Their identities have not been released at this time.
Police also noted that they shared three children — ages 9, 13 and 15, respectively — and they were inside the home when the shooting happened and one of them made the 911 call.
