SHERIFF'S OFFICE INVESTIGATING TWO BODIES FOUND IN DELTONA HOME

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is on-scene at 678 Alexander Ave. in Deltona, where the bodies of two adults have been located inside the residence.

The Sheriff's Office received the initial call at 12:40 p.m. Deputies have been on-scene since 12:51 p.m.

The bodies found inside the house have been tentatively identified as 37-year-old Julyann Rivera and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Jesus Negron. The couple had lived together at 678 Alexander Ave., but had recently separated. Rivera worked for the Sheriff’s Office as a school crossing guard supervisor in Deltona. She was first hired as a school crossing guard four years ago and was promoted to school crossing guard supervisor in September 2008.

Investigators with the Sheriff’s Office’s Major Case Unit have recovered a handgun at the scene. While the Volusia County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct autopsies to confirm the cause and manner of the deaths, the preliminary investigation at the scene indicates that the deaths appear to be the result of a murder-suicide.

More information will be released as it becomes available.

Update 5:45 p.m.

The Volusia Medical Examiner’s Office removed the two bodies from the scene at 5:38 p.m. today. The autopsies are scheduled to be conducted Thursday morning.
