DELTONA -- In what was a horrific death scene, An Orlando man shot and killed his estranged wife and her father in the the father's Sunset Road in Stone Island just south of Deltona before turning the gun on himself Monday morning. The unanswered is why an apparent marriage break-up could end so violently, especially with the couple's daughter in the home who saw it all
That is something Sheriff's investigators and family and friends of the victims in this double-murder suicide may never get an answer to beyond the certainly of homicidal rage.
"A handgun was recovered at the scene, near the body of Carlos Negron," Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said after speaking with on-scene investigators. "Based on the preliminary investigation, it appears that Carlos Negron killed the other two victims and then turned the gun on himself. Investigators believe Carlos and Lara were separated and in the process of divorcing. The young child who was in the home and witnessed the shooting is the couple's daughter."
Phillip Sinney, 73, was Lara Negron's father and the child's grandfather.
The girl, 11-year-old Adrianna Negron, wasn't injured and is presently in the care of the Sheriff's Office and officials with the Florida Department of Children & Families.

Phillip Spinney, 71, shown here, was a retired real estate businessman, who took in his daughter and granddaughter a couple of years ago.
Davidson said the Volusia County Medical Examiner's Office has removed the bodies from the scene and is scheduled to conduct autopsies today to confirm the cause of death of all three: murder of the wife and her father and suicide of the husband, all by his hand.
Deputies were dispatched to the residence at 473 Sunset Road after receiving a 911 call at 8:13 a.m. from a neighbor who reported hearing gunfire while she was out walking her dog. When deputies arrived at the scene, they located three dead bodies on the back porch of the home, with a handgun closest to the body of the younger of the two men lated identified as Carlos Negron.
Fellow Sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught told reporters at the scene that after seeing her mother and grandfather shot dead and her father turning the gun on himself, ran from the home near the north shore of Lake Monroe to get help, he said.
A neighbor walking her dog called 9-1-1 after hearing shots.
The mother and daughter had been living with her father for the last two years, after the 11-year marriage apparently soured and in the process of divorce.
Court records show the Negrons were married in Seminole County in 1999, and two years later, the husband was arrested by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office on domestic-violence battery charges, after deputies said the wife was beaten in their Lake Mary home.
Negron later pleaded not guilty after a judge ordered him to not have contact with his wife and to stay away from the home, afterwhich prosecutors dropped the charges.
