Apparent murder-suicide in Hammond
A husband and wife were killed Thursday morning in what appears to be a murder-suicide, according to a statement issued by Lt. Vincent Giannobile, public information officer of the Hammond Police Department.
Giannobile said officers received a call reporting a shooting early Thursday and responded to the incident. They found a man lying in the roadway next to a truck and a woman in another truck. Both victims had been shot once.
The couple was identified as Joyce Michelle Sibley, 27, and David L. Sibley, 29, of 27669 Ivy Springs Drive, Independence.
David Sibley was transported to North Oaks Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Joyce Sibley was pronounced dead at the scene, Giannobile said. The Tangipahoa Parish Coroner’s office was called to the scene and will supervise the victims’ bodies until their release.
The couple appeared to be involved in a domestic dispute. The investigation is ongoing.
