Birthday Surprise

"MIDDLEBURG, FL — A 23-year-old Clay County woman was fatally shot on her birthday today in an apparent murder-suicide involving her 51-year-old father, investigators said.

"Andrea Langevin was found by her sister in their Middleburg home on Tina Lane in the Greenwood subdivision. Her father, Dennis Langevin, was found by deputies in the backyard next door. A shotgun was found with his body, said Sgt. Wayne McKinney of the Sheriff's Office.

"A brother also lives there. It's unclear if the brother and sister were home at the time. The children's mother recently moved out of the home, where there had been some marital problems, detectives said.

"The motive for the incident remains unclear. Clay court records show that foreclosure proceedings had been ongoing on the home. The Sheriff's Office said Dennis Langevin was employed at the Orange Pak Country Club.

"Deputies were called by the sister about 8:15 a.m. after the attack.

"A neighbor, Danielle Mabey, said she knew the family well and always thought the father and daughter got along. She said the daughter graduated a few years ago from Ridgeview High School.

"`She was a great person, a very happy person,` said Mabey, 21. `He was a wonderful father. It's just depressing.`

"Next door neighbor Keith Altizer, 51, said police were at the home at least once a year ago during what he was told was a drug investigation. Otherwise, he said there's been no trouble.

"`You don't expect it would be the people next door,` Altizer said. `It's unnerving.`"
