Search warrants provided more insight into the devastating deaths of a mother and her three children in Chesapeake in an apparent murder-suicide last week.
Cymone King-Roberson was reportedly on a Facebook Live Feb. 6 when her girlfriend, while watching, noticed three dead bodies in the home. The girlfriend called 911, leading to Chesapeake police responding to King-Roberson’s home.
After King-Roberson made “concerning statements,” the Chesapeake Police SWAT and Crisis Negotiation Team was called, according to the search warrant. However, while officers were on scene, they heard the sound of gunshots from inside the residence.
SWAT entered the home to find four dead individuals, including King-Roberson and her three children — a 14-year-old daughter and 5-year-old twins, a boy and a girl. The woman was said to have died due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
During the search, officials confiscated a Bersa Thunder 380 handgun, ammunition, five shell casings, a USB drive, a wash cloth and paper towel with a red stain and two cellular devices.
