Jacksonville police have confirmed the identities of three people found dead in a Jacksonville home nearly a week ago.

Mary Ann Geoghagan, 54, her husband, Richard Stanley Gordon, 56, and her son Michael Bradford Lewit, 37, were found Wednesday at the couple's home at 12784 Del Rio Drive in Mandarin when a family member went by the house to check on their welfare, authorities told the Times-Union at the time.

Jacksonville police said the deaths appeared to be a murder-suicide. Monday, Geoghagan's brother, Wayne Geoghagan said police said Gordon shot Mary Ann Geoghagan and her son before turning a second gun on himself.

The shootings likely occurred about 10:30 p.m. the night before the bodies were discovered, he said.
