Police Investigate Murder-Suicide - CBS 21

A Dauphin County community is in shock Saturday as they deal with a murder-suicide in their neighborhood and the loss of two people. Swatara Township Police would only say that the victims are related and that one of them is a juvenile.

But neighbors, who know the family well and other police sources tell CBS 21 that they believe a father shot his 16 year old daughter. People who know the teen victim say she is 16-year-old Taysia Jarmuzek.

Taysia Jarmuzek is smiling in almost every Facebook photo. But her longtime friends say it was a mask, covering up her troubled home life.

" You could look at Taysia and tell something was happening. She hid it from people," said Jayron Nesbit, Taysia's friend.

Jayron Nesbit has been friends with Taysia since the fourth grade. Saturday, he mourned her death. Swatara Township Police say that around 9:30 Friday night, they arrived to a home at Kristy Lane for a report of a possible suicide. Inside the home they found two victims, who they say are related. One of them is a juvenile.

" I knew her since they were little. She used to live in our complex down the street," said Maria Ramirez-Dennis, victim's friend.

Maria says Taysia's parents had marriage troubles and calls her father controlling.

" I always kind of stayed away from him for some reason. The look on his face, I just didn't trust it," said Maria.

Taysia's friends have a hard time saying goodbye. Jasmine Barber placed a teddy bear near the door of Taysia's home. It's the same bear that Taysia gave Jasmine for her birthday.

" I felt like I was lost you know? I don't know what to do, because she was my best friend you know?" said Jasmine Barber, Taysia's friend.

Taysia Jarmuzek attended Central Dauphin East High School.

The Dauphin County Coroner says he will release more information about the murder-suicide investigation Monday.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
