PALM COAST, Fla.<\/strong> \u2014 The Flagler County Sheriff\u2019s Office is investigating an apparent murder-suicide that occurred at a home on Weyanoke Lane on Wednesday evening, September 30.<\/p>\n

At approximately 10:18 p.m.<\/strong>, the Flagler County Emergency Communications Center received multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting at the residence. Deputies arrived within five minutes and found a man deceased inside the garage from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was later identified as Rakim-Shakur Brooks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Deputies also found a woman in a bedroom suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was identified as Dawn Estrella<\/strong>. Deputies immediately began life-saving measures while Palm Coast Fire Department and Flagler County Fire Rescue responded. Estrella was pronounced deceased at 10:34 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two other individuals inside the home were found unharmed.<\/p>\n
