RICHMOND, ME. (THECOUNT) — State Police say the weekend death of Richmond woman, Naomi Mellon, was a murder-suicide.
Detectives say Mellon, 37, was shot to death by her boyfriend, 46-year-old, Kirk Alexander Jr., who then turned the gun on himself.
Both sustained fatal gunshot wounds in the head.
The bodies of the couple were found in the kitchen of their home Saturday morning by Mellon’s 11-year-old son, after he awoke. The boy then went to a nearby store and police were called. The shooting likely took place late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The two bodies found deceased inside of a Richmond home Saturday afternoon have been identified as Kirk Alexander Jr., 46, and his longtime girlfriend, Niomi Mello, 37. source
