SMPD is investigating the deaths of a mother and son at a St. Marys apartment home.
The St. Marys Police Department is reporting an apparent murder-suicide involving a mother and her son at a St. Marys apartment home on Thursday evening.
Officers responded at about 11 p.m. after co-workers had asked for a welfare check at Hidden Bay Apartment after one of the victims had not shown up for work.
“This was very unusual, so they came to the apartment to attempt to make contact with him. After knocking on the door and receiving no answer, they looked in a window and observed what they thought was him lying on the floor,” said a news release issued by SMPD this morning.
Police found Eric Boswell, 24, and his mother, Bonnie Coker, 54, deceased inside the home from single gunshot wounds.
“There is no evidence that this is the work of anyone who is still at large. Police are not searching for any other suspects and expressed their condolences to the family of the victims," said the release.
