LAKELAND, Fla. — A Lakeland couple is dead in what appears to be a domestic murder-suicide.

Police found a 50-year-old woman dead at The Park At Verona, an apartment complex in Cleveland Heights. A 60-year-old man was with her, also dead. Officers learned that the two were in a relationship.

According to detectives, evidence at the scene suggests that the man shot his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself.

Detectives are investigating the killing, gathering evidence, and interviewing witnesses. As always, they ask anyone with information to reach out to them by contacting Detective Neal Robertson at neal.robertson@lakelandgov.net or leave an anonymous tip at 1-888-400-8477.
