Police investigating suspected murder-suicide at 1900 block of SW Cameo Blvd.
A 52-year-old man was the person behind a recent murder-suicide, according to cops in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He shot and killed another man, 33, and a woman, 53, as well as two dogs, police said. Then, he killed himself. Cops did not name the people involved.
“Detectives found a suicide note and believe depression could be a motivating factor in this incident,” police said.

“As a reminder, if you are in need of mental health resources, please call 211 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255,” officers said.
Neighbor Monica Ward, who said she did not know much about the family, said a mother, father, and son lived there, according to TC Palm. She described them as quiet. She did not notice any problems or arguments. Family came and went from the home, she said.
“I know there were two brothers living there and one moved out a couple months ago, I believe,” she said.
