MELBOURNE, Fla.,None — Police are investigating a double shooting that left a woman dead and a man injured at a Melbourne home Saturday morning.
Law enforcement and emergency rescue crews from both Melbourne and Brevard County responded to Ocean View Lane around 8:30 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting at a home.
Officials said they found the woman, 26-year-old Jessica Coral Burrell, inside the home dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Jeffery Brown was also in the home and was transported to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to investigators.
Police told WFTV they do not know the relationship between the man and woman, and would not say if the incident is a possible murder-suicide attempt. Police did not appear to be searching for a suspect in the area. Neighbors told WFTV that they think the woman is Brown's new girlfriend.
Investigators received a search warrant just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday and started looking through the house for clues as to what happened.
The investigation is ongoing.
