ROCKFORD — Blount County authorities are investigating the deaths of a couple killed in an apparent murder-suicide Sunday night.
Deputies discovered two shooting victims on the floor — Uriel Degado, 38, and Erma Juarez, 31 — at their Rockford residence on Crystal Lane shortly before 9 p.m., according to Marian O’Briant, Blount County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman.
Degado was pronounced dead at the scene. Juarez died during surgery a short time later at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, O’Briant said.
Preliminary autopsy results indicate both died from their gunshot wounds, she added.
The investigation is ongoing.
