Lt. Barry Hall identified the victims as both being in their 60s but declined to reveal their names. “During the investigation, detectives learned that the female victim was conducting a Zoom call with a colleague when the attack on the male occurred. The Zoom caller witnessed the attack on both the male and female and called 911 to report the crime,” the sheriff’s department announced in a release, NBC News reported.

During their investigations, deputies discovered a vehicle was missing from the victims’ residence. They said the individual drove up in the victims’ car and said the home was his. Authorities later identified the suspect as 32-year-old Robert Cotton. He has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder, said police.
