JSO Sergeant Highfill said the man and woman were both around 19-20 years old, and that the two were in a relationship together over the last two years.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man and woman were found dead by Jacksonville sheriff’s officers early Saturday morning in what appears to have been a murder-suicide, according to investigators with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

JSO Sgt. Highfill told First Coast News that at about 1:30 a.m., officers responded to a mobile home in the 11500 block of Lorence Avenue in reference to a person shot.

When they arrived, Highfill said officers found the man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, and the woman with a stab wound to her neck; both were found in the same room. Members of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department then responded to the scene and pronounced both the man and woman dead, according to Highfill.

Highfill said the man and woman were both around 19-20 years old, said the two were in a relationship together over the last two years, and that they lived together.

Highfill further stated that the man left “multiple suicide notes.”

“It appears at this point that he stabbed the female and then took his own life,” Highfill said.

According to Highfill, no one else was at the home when the incident took place.

“[It was an] isolated incident, we don’t expect there to be any ongoing threat to the public at this point,” Highfill said.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call JSO’s non-emergency number at 904-630-0500. To provide information anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
