WIMAUMA, Fla. — A death investigation is underway in Hillsborough County after two people were found dead in Wimauma on Friday night.

The sheriff's office says deputies were called to a home in the 15000 block of Carlton Lake Road at 7 p.m.

Authorities say a relative in the home called to report a shooting, and neighbors confirmed hearing shots. When they entered the home, deputies found Cassandra Cagle, 41, and Lawrence Cagle, 57, dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

The sheriff's office said on Saturday they believe Lawrence shot and killed his wife before turning the gun on himself.

No other information has been released.
