MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Two people are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Manatee County on Sunday evening, deputies said.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said deputies received a 911 call around 6:15 p.m. about shots being fired and two people lying in the driveway of a home located on 84th Street Circle East in Parrish.
Deputies said when they arrived, they found a woman and man who had died from "homicidal and suicidal violence." They added that there was no evidence anyone else was involved, and the incident was isolated to that address.
During an investigation, MCSO said detectives found Stephen Andrew Kidd, 29, shot his 51-year-old mother before shooting himself.
All other family members have been accounted for and are safe, according to detectives. This is still an ongoing investigation.
“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.
