The sheriff’s office released a detailed statement and timeline of events leading up to shooting on Tuesday afternoon.

On March 8, deputies were called around 7:45 p.m. to the 2500 block of Sunset Bend for a report of two individuals who were unresponsive inside the home.

Upon entry, deputies found an adult male and female fatally shot inside a bedroom. Both victims suffered gunshot wounds to the head, the sheriff’s office said.

Investigators determined the male victim, identified as 39-year-old Marcus James, was in a dating relationship with Rodriguez.

Preliminary evidence at the scene indicates James shot Rodriguez before turning the gun on himself, investigators said. A 9mm handgun was recovered from the “immediate vicinity of the decedents.”

The sheriff’s office also confirmed four previous calls for service at the home between March 2025 and August 2025. These included reports categorized as “Threats,” “Information,” and “Verbal Disturbances.”

“Notably, Marcus James was not involved in any of these prior calls for service at this address,” BCSO said in a statement.

BCSO’s Homicide Unit is still investigating the circumstances of the shooting and ensuring no other offenses occurred leading up to the incident.

“While preliminary evidence points toward a murder-suicide, investigators are conducting a thorough forensic review to finalize the sequence of events.”

The district attorney’s office described Rodriguez as “incredibly hard-working, kind, and always brought a wonderful attitude to the workplace,” adding that “her passion for her work was evident every day, and she truly enjoyed what she did.”
