According to police, just after midnight, a family member called for assistance from a townhouse on New Bedford Harbour after finding two people dead within the basement.
“Both had apparent gunshot wounds,” Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Marc Limansky said. “Evidence suggests that the male subject shot the female subject and then turned the weapon against himself, used it on himself to commit suicide.”
The victims have been identified as Dajuan Jennings, 39, and his wife, Neka Natalie Jennings, 42, according to WMAR.
They have provided no explanation for the killings.
“The inflation and people not being able to afford different things. Being stuck in. People’s mental health is really a big factor,” said Dewese, “So I think a lot of this stuff is just people not having the resources they need to do what’s better for them, and it’s a shame something like this had to happen. Somebody’s family. Somebody’s kids.”
