Columbia County murder suspect arrested

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. — A Columbia County woman has been arrested and charged with the killing of a man she called her husband, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Tracy Lea Luckey, 50, was taken into custody Saturday night, hours after the body of David Sullivan, 49, was discovered in their home in an unincorporated part of the county.

Deputies said Luckey called 911 around 6:30 p.m. to report she had shot her husband. When deputies arrived at the home in the 500 block of Bobcat Drive, they found Sullivan dead.

Sgt. Murray Smith, of the Sheriff's Office, said the motive for the shooting is unclear.

Although Luckey identified herself as the victim’s wife, detectives said they have not been able to verify their marriage through records. The couple reportedly lived together and had a 30-year relationship.

Action News Jax spoke with Savannah Morgan, a family friend of Luckey, who said she noticed changes that were out of character for Luckey.

“She’s talking about people coming into our homes and shooting her with needles and giving her shots and putting her to sleep,” Morgan said about Luckey.

Smith said a handgun believed to be the weapon used in the shooting has been located and seized as evidence.

Luckey is being held without bail.
