A 75-year-old man that was a suspect in a gruesome Thanksgiving-day homicide is dead after shooting himself, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded to an urgent well-being check near the area of Poe Street and Eden Drive in Inverness on Thursday “after receiving information that a murder had potentially taken place.”
According to a news release, when deputies arrived at the residence, they knocked on the front door and announced themselves, but there was no answer.
They then started checking the home’s perimeter and found a large butcher style knife on the ground, blood, and drag marks in the backyard.
