CCSO’s investigation determined the shooting must have happened between 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. but no one heard the shots or saw anyone enter or leave the home. Investigators also didn’t see any signs of forced entry.
“The investigation also ruled out the roommate as a suspect and determined the shooting was not a murder-suicide,” CCSO said in a social media post about the deaths.
Detectives said the home had a reputation for being a party house and dealing in illegal drugs. However, no illegal activities took place that evening.
