An attempted-murder suicide investigation is underway after a man was found dead and his wife critically injured at a Southwest Miami-Dade home late Thursday night.
Around 10:40 p.m., the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported shooting at a home near 19200 SW 376 St. Upon arrival, deputies found a man and woman suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, with a gun found near the man, MDSO said.
According to MDSO, the man died at the scene and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue airlifted the woman to Jackson Memorial South in critical condition.
MDSO’s Homicide Bureau is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, but said that it was “domestic-related,” and the man and woman were identified as husband and wife. It is unclear at this time who the shooter was.
CBS News Miami spoke with several neighbors off-camera, who said the couple had allegedly moved into the home recently and that the woman has three children. A neighbor said they were picked up by a family member.
