Police say two people are dead after an apparent murder-suicide, leaving behind a small child. It happened late Friday night along Blackwell Court in Richmond. The couple has been identified as 23-year-old Jackie Rose and 23-year-old Jesse Rose.
The owner and the landlord of the apartment says it’s a crime that’s hard to believe.
“We see it happen in other places, but we don’t really see it happen in our own places, and it’s a big shock,” said landlord R.T. Taylor.

It was around 11:30 Friday night when police in Madison County were called to a home in Richmond for a domestic disturbance report. They were told a woman was possibly being held against her will. Shortly after arriving, officers say they heard a gunshot.
“I was totally shocked,” said Taylor.
Immediately calling for back up, police were able to get inside that apartment. They found the couple dead, both with gunshot wounds, in what officers say appears to be a murder-suicide. The two are believed to be a married couple who left behind their 15-month-old daughter inside the home.
“I had seen the little toddler and the mom several times on the porch and they had a little small swimming pool out front,” said Taylor.
Taylor says the couple had been renting from him for less than a year but always paid rent on time, and he never saw anything out of the ordinary.
“Seemed happy couple and just loved the little kid and everything,” he said.
The couple’s young daughter was turned over to social services.
