Clearwater police and Pinellas sheriff’s crime scene investigators gather near 1279 Abbey Crescent Lane, where two people were found dead in what officials said was a murder-suicide.

Two Wesley Chapel children will grow up without their parents following a domestic dispute that turned fatal in Clearwater on June 5.

According to the Clearwater Police Department (CPD), around 3:45 a.m. on June 5, Eugene Agbebaku, 33, of Wesley Chapel broke into the Clearwater condo at 1279 Abbey Crescent Lane where his estranged wife Ingrid, 32, was staying. Once inside, Agbebaku shot Ingrid to death using a Russian-made assault rifle before walking across the street and shooting himself in front of her parent’s condo in the same complex.

CPD says that the couple was in the process of getting a divorce and was supposed to appear in court that Tuesday. Ingrid had been staying at her grandmother’s condo with the couple’s two children, ages five and 22 months. Ingrid had recently been denied a restraining order against her estranged husband.

CPD has ruled the case a murder-suicide and is not actively searching for any additional suspects.
