Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies investigated a murder-suicide at a Tamarac apartment complex Thursday morning, close to where a where a 23-year-old woman was found dead Wednesday afternoon in an apparent homicide.
The two cases aren’t connected, however, BSO spokesperson Veda Coleman-Wright said.
In Thursday’s incident, Coleman-Wright said deputies responded to the 5800 block of Hampton Hills Boulevard regarding a 911 hang-up call and discovered a man and woman dead from gunshot wounds inside the residence. They also found four children inside, physically unharmed.
First responders swarmed the area, blocking off access to the Hampton Hills complex while they investigated. They also blocked off parts of the Tamarac Village complex where Wednesday’s homicide happened, near the 9300 block of Northwest 57th Street.
Residents told Local 10 News they couldn’t access their apartment units and couldn’t get home.
A Local 10 News crew saw a number of deputies in tactical gear in the area.
In Wednesday’s incident, family members identified the deceased woman as Kayla Hodgson, saying she had not lived at the complex for very long.
Deputies have not yet revealed how she died, but homicide detectives are investigating. Crime scene investigators took photos of a white SUV before it was towed away and a forensics truck was at the scene most of the day.
