Mara Lynn Marie Rivers, 48, was shot to death on September 17, 2021, in Mims, Florida. Deputies responded after her husband, Gary Rivers, called the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office to report that he had shot his wife during a domestic argument. Mara was found deceased in the carport of the couple’s home with a single gunshot wound.

Brevard County investigators treated the death as suspicious and arrested 50-year-old Gary Rivers. He was held without bond at the Brevard County Jail and was later indicted by a grand jury on one count of first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm after testimony from investigators and the medical examiner. No trial date had been set at the time of these reports.

The case is framed by investigators as a domestic dispute that escalated to deadly violence. If anyone knew Mara, her routine, or observed the couple in Mims around that time, please share information that might help the investigation.
