SARASOTA, Fla. — The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) has identified two people who were found dead outside a Sarasota discount store.
SCSO said early Tuesday morning, the two victims were found at the rear of Ollie's Bargain Outlet on Cattleman Road. They have been identified as Mandy Coxwell, 34 and Cameron Marsh, 33.
SCSO said they found the victims under a semi-truck in the loading bay of the business.
Deputies said Coxwell died from a gunshot wound to the head, and Marsh shot himself under the chin and in the neck. The incident is classified as a murder-suicide, deputies said.
SCSO said local businesses knew of the Coxwell and Marsh and would be seen panhandling and seeking shelter under the trailers at night.
The investigation remains ongoing.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
