Suspected Killer Found Dead


"BONIFAY, FL — Washington County Sheriff's Deputies and agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement are looking into a double slaying Sunday morning which may be a murder - suicide.

"At approximately 8:15 a.m. Washington County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to a gunshot victim at 2152 Pleasant Hill Road. The call came from the victim’s husband, Donald Richard Bellew. Mr. Bellew also told 911 dispatchers that the owner of the home, Cain Abel Ellis, 37, was there and was armed.

"Officers with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office were on scene within 10 minutes and found a female victim, Shannon F. Bellew, a 36 year old white female, in the home owner’s vehicle dead from a gunshot wound.

"The Bay County SWAT team was called to the scene to assist Washington County Deputies. Lawmen made several attempts to communicate with the homeowner but got no response. Shortly before noon they went into the home and found Ellis dead from an apparent self-inflicted gun shot wound."
