who was shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide on Sept. 6, 2015.

Deputies initially responded to a report of a "woman screaming" at approximately 10 p.m. on Sunday in the 5000 block of Crown Avenue, according to a Sheriff's Department's news release.

Based on a preliminary investigation, it appeared the couple had been involved in some sort of fight or altercation when the husband opened fire, Lt. David Coleman of the sheriff's Homicide Bureau said at an early morning news conference.

Deputies arrived at the residence and found the door was open, Coleman said. They then discovered the victim, who suffered an apparent gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was identified by the Sheriff's Department as Cecilia Hoschet, a 2-year veteran of the department.
