An apparent murder-suicide in Palm Harbor is being investigated, as a 52-year-old woman was killed by a 26-year-old man who had a romantic relationship with her daughter.
Recently, deputies recently responded to 4192 Moreno Drive, in Palm Harbor, after a 911 call was received reporting a male and a female had been shot.
Once deputies arrived on scene, they located 52-year-old Stacey McLean deceased in a bedroom. Deputies also located 26-year-old Darryl Serraj deceased in a separate bedroom, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to detectives, Serraj was in a romantic relationship with McClean’s daughter for approximately five years and their relationship recently ended.
Detectives say Serraj, of Riverview near Tampa, broke into the Palm Harbor residence, murdered McLean, and then took his own life.
An autopsy will be conducted, and the Medical Examiner’s Office will work to determine the cause and manner of death. Next of kin has been notified.
The investigation continues, according to local law enforcement.
