Police say 29-year-old Tyler Young shot & killed his wife and the two children then turned the gun on himself
LORAIN, Ohio (WOIO) - Lorain police said the two adults and two children found dead in a home Sunday morning is being investigated as a murder-suicide.
According to police, Tyler Young, 29, shot and killed Skylar Young, 24, their four-month-old son, Bandin Young, and her 9-year-old daughter, Angel Issac, before killing himself. Angel was a student at a local charter school.
Police added the handgun located next to Tyler’s remains matched the weapon used in the fatal shootings, a 9mm.
The bodies were discovered inside a home on E. 9th Street around 10 a.m. Sunday.
Police were called to the home after receiving a complaint of dogs at large from a neighbor. The bodies were found when the officers entered the home.
Tyler was arrested earlier this year for domestic violence and strangulation for an incident involving Skylar; however, the grand jury did not return an indictment, said police.
Investigators say Tyler did not leave a note but say a family member reported to police that Tyler had a “schizophrenic episode” earlier this year. They are looking into his mental health.
The murder-suicide remains under investigation.
