Two men found shot to death inside a Key Largo home. The victims are related.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the deaths of two men whose bodies were found with gunshot wounds inside a home in Key Largo Thursday morning.
The shooting appears to be a case of murder-suicide, “however, the investigation remains ongoing,” said Adam Linhardt, spokesman for the sheriff’s office.
The victims are Eric Stewart Smith, 62, and Steven Rosen, 50. The initial investigation indicates Rosen was likely the shooter, Linhardt said.
Their bodies were found by Smith’s wife, who is Rosen’s sister, Linhardt said.
Deputies were called to the house at 218 Lignumvitae Dr. at 7:45 a.m.
Jackie Bobick, who lives next door, said the Smiths live at the house, and Rosen moved in with them several months ago.
Bobick was talking to a friend on the phone in the morning when she heard the wife screaming outside.
“After I hung up, I saw her there screaming. Then I saw the sheriff’s office pull up,” Bobick said.
This report will be updated as more information becomes available..
