In a devastating incident of domestic violence, an abusive man took the life of his pregnant transgender fiancé before turning the gun on himself in a murder-suicide.
The horrific event occurred in Winter Haven, Florida, and left a community in shock.
Camdyn Rider, 21, who was transitioning from female to male, was eight months pregnant at the time of the shooting.
The police revealed that the perpetrator, Riley John Groover, 26, had a history of violence and had terrorized those in his life before the tragic incident.
The authorities worked diligently to save the unborn baby at the hospital, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.
Groover's mother, who remains unnamed, disclosed that her son and Camdyn were engaged to be married, but their relationship was often marred by arguments, particularly about household responsibilities.
She also revealed that Groover had used her gun to commit the heinous act.
Sheriff Grady Judd referred to the event as a "violent and horrific double murder," mourning the loss of a 21-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn child.
Family members and neighbors had attempted to help Camdyn escape from the dangerous situation, but tragically, they could not prevent the devastating outcome.
The community is urged to keep the affected family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
