Authorities are investigating a reported double murder-suicide where three people were found dead inside a Hillsborough County home.

  • Three found dead inside Hillsborough home
  • Officials suspect double murder-suicide

Detectives responded Friday afternoon to 132 Hickory Creek Drive for a welfare check. 

Inside, detectives found three adults dead. Officials have not released the relationship between the three people. 

Neighbors in the quiet, upscale Brandon neighborhood said whatever the circumstances are, it's a sad situation. 

"It's going to spread out so much to so many people now who are going to be affected, like even the people who responded here, they're going to have that image in their mind for the rest of their lives, and have to carry through with that," said neighbor Lisa DuMond. 

Detectives have obtained a search warrant to go in the home and are starting to collect evidence. 

Officials are not releasing the names of the victims or how they died. They are waiting on the medical examiner's office for that information.
