We responded to a possible homicide/suicide between neighbors where neither the victim nor suspect would answer their door or phones. We were able to use in-house and local databases to get intel on the suspect, however we had limited information on the victim.
I used the FirstTwo
app by inputting the victim’s address and was
able to obtain victim’s wife’s name and phone
number. We were able to contact the victim’s
wife to gather intel as to who was in the
home and if there were any weapons. We were
told that she and their 2 children were out
of town and that the victim did have weapons
that were in a safe.
Upon receiving this
information and knowing that the victim may
be inside either deceased or suffering from
life threatening injuries, officers decided
to make entry; officers found the victim, who
was beaten with a baseball bat, suffering
with severe injuries to head and legs. He was
later admitted into ICU for a few days,
however he survived the attack. The suspect
was not home, however he turned himself into
police 2 weeks later.
