Timothy Scott Murray, aged 41, was found dead on August 19, 2014, in Vallejo, California, in what authorities determined to be a murder-suicide. The tragic incident occurred on a boat docked at the Vallejo Marina. According to police reports, Timothy Scott Murray shot his wife, Jade Ann Murray, also 41, before turning the gun on himself. The couple's bodies were discovered after a family member requested a welfare check, having not heard from them for several days.
The police found the bodies around 10:50 a.m. on the boat located at Dock C, 42 Harbor Way.
The investigation revealed that the couple had a history of domestic violence. The exact time of the shootings was not immediately determined, but it was clear that Timothy Murray used a handgun to kill his wife and then himself. The couple had been married for three years and had previously lived at the Glen Cove Marina in Vallejo. This incident added to the tally of homicides in Vallejo for that year, which included an officer-involved fatal shooting.
There were no arrests or suspects beyond the determination that Timothy Scott Murray was responsible for the murder-suicide. The case did not lead to any further litigations or law cases, as the primary suspect was deceased. The Vallejo police closed the investigation after confirming the details of the murder-suicide, and no additional suspects or motives were identified beyond the documented history of domestic issues between the couple.
