McDavid Double Shooting Ruled Apparent Murder-Suicide by ECSO
October 7, 2025
Investigators now say a deadly double shooting Monday in McDavid appears to have been a murder-suicide.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday afternoon that their investigation determined that the wife apparently shot her husband before turning the gun on herself in the family’s home.
Deputies discovered two people deceased from gunshot wounds inside a home in the 700 block of North Century Boulevard, about a half mile north of the McDavid Fire Station.
The ECSO said they were called Monday by the father of now-deceased husband to do a welfare check after he did not arrive for work Monday. They found the victims’ vehicles at the home, but no one answered the door. Deputies made entry about 11:30 a.m. and located a man and woman both deceased with gunshot wounds.
The Sheriff’s Office said there were no signs of a struggle, no forced entry into the home, and they do not believe there was any foul play by a third party.
The investigation is continuing.

Prayers for the family members, firemen and officers.
An amazing Marine and an even better friend. We will miss you. Praying for both families affected by this tragedy.
R.I.P. to both. I knew the guy. Nicest young man you’d ever want to meet. This is a tragedy. Condolences to the parents of both.
Seen the crime scene van there with other deputies the other day. Sad to know that folks get to this point and are suffering feeling there’s no way out.
Sad
This is just sad! I’ve known her a long time and never thought she would do this. Prayers for their family.
