Delaware State Police have released the identities of the three family members who died in a murder-suicide last week in the High Point Park mobile home community near Frederica.
Eighteen-year-old Ethan Christensen and 81-year-old Linda Hyman were fatally shot on August 6 inside a residence on Lorna Drive. Investigators have identified 53-year-old Staci Marie Christensen as the shooter, stating that she took her own life after killing the two victims.
While police have not detailed the exact relationships between those involved, a GoFundMe created by Staci’s surviving children indicates that Ethan was her son and Hyman was his grandmother.
Troopers responded to the home around 11 p.m. on August 6 for a welfare check, where they found all three deceased. The circumstances leading to the welfare check and the possible motive behind the tragedy have not been disclosed.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Alan Bluto at 302-741-2859.
