A woman was killed and a man was found dead following an apparent domestic-related shooting in a Port St. Lucie neighborhood Saturday evening. Port St. Lucie Police Department officers responded around 7:40 p.m. to the 2000 block of SE Oxmoor Terrace, west of U.S. 1 and near HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital, after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting possible gunshots and a domestic disturbance.
When officers arrived, they found an adult woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was airlifted to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. During the response, officers also found an adult man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Detectives remain at the scene processing evidence and conducting interviews as they work to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Police said the incident appears to be isolated and domestic-related, and there is no known threat to the public at this time.
Residents can continue to expect a heavy law enforcement presence in the area of SE Triumph Road and SE Veterans Memorial Parkway while investigators remain on scene. Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area and use alternate routes whenever possible. The investigation remains active.
