A family of five, including two elementary school-age girls, were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide inside an Orlando home, police told reporters.
In statements provided to the Miami Herald, Orlando police spokesperson Andrea Otero said officers went to the home for a well-being check. When officers went into the house they found the family — three adults and two children — dead.
Police have also identified the father, Donovan Michael Ramirez, 45, as the suspect. They believe Ramirez killed his wife, Stephanie, and their children before turning the gun on himself. A firearm was found inside the house but the medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of death, police said.
