Police investigating apparent murder-suicide in Palatka

PALATKA, Fla. — Two people died Sunday in what police are calling a murder-suicide in Palatka County.
 
Jessica Leigh Mock, 27, and Derrick Lamar Louis, 20, were both found dead in Louis' family's driveway.
 
A woman who lives nearby and wishes to remain anonymous said it was a somber scene.
 
"It's really sad that this had to happen on the Lord's day," she said.
 
Neighbors said they heard two or three gunshots around 10 a.m. Sunday.

Investigators said when police got to Westover Drive, they found a gun and the couple inside an SUV parked in the driveway.
 
Capt. Dominic Piscitello, of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, said investigators will figure out what happened Sunday morning.
 
"We're looking at the circumstances surrounding the incident and we're going to put together the puzzle of what happened inside of that vehicle this morning," Piscitello said.
 
Investigators did not say who they believe to be the shooter.

Louis' mother said the two came over Saturday in a good mood. She said they were coming to visit before heading to work Sunday morning.

She said the couple had been dating for two years and had a 7-month-old baby together, who she now plans to raise herself.
