Leon County Sheriff’s Deputies believe 20-year-old FAMU student Nefertiti Nicole Williams was the victim of a murder-suicide.
Williams and 20-year-old Shundavian Marquis Brooks were found dead Thursday.
Friends called police when Williams failed to show up for a Thanksgiving gathering.
According to Maj. Mike Wood of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, deputies believe Brooks killed Williams with a single gunshot wound to the head, and then shot himself several hours later.
Williams was found in her bed on the top floor of the home. She is believed to have died 10 to 24 hours before her body was found.
Brooks was found on the first floor of the home. He is believed to have died four to six hours before his body was found. A pistol, believed to be his was found next to him.
Williams was the news editor of The Famuan, Florida A&M University’s three-time-a-week newspaper.
No other information is known about Brooks.
A rememberance service is being planned for next week.
