Authorities identified the victims as Ulises Cabrera Gonzalez, 44, and Susana Rosales Koris, 42.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FL — A man and a woman were found shot to death just after 1 p.m. Saturday inside a house near the 17000 block of Southwest 153rd Court, south of Country Walk in the Richmond West area, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.
Detectives said the case remains in its early stages as they work to determine how the two ended up shot inside the home and whether the gunfire stemmed from a domestic situation. Homicide detectives have taken over and are interviewing witnesses who were reportedly in or near the residence when the 911 call came in. The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the manner and cause of death. Deputies have not announced any arrests or a motive, and investigators emphasized that key details remain unknown.
Deputies were dispatched after a 911 dispatcher relayed that a caller reported an adult male bleeding. “The note just said the father was not responding, bloody with a hole in the neck,” a dispatcher told first responders over the radio. Units reached the single-family home, where they found an adult man and woman with apparent gunshot wounds. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue pronounced both victims dead at the scene. The house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac just south of the Country Walk community, a residential area of single-story homes and manicured yards that draws steady weekend foot traffic.
On Sunday, authorities identified the victims as 44-year-old Ulises Cabrera Gonzalez and 42-year-old Susana Rosales Koris. Investigators have not said how the two knew each other. A sheriff’s office spokesperson, Samantha Choon, said detectives are “not discarding the possibility” of a domestic link but cautioned that the inquiry is in its infancy. Multiple people were believed to be inside the home at the time, and at least one person called 911, according to preliminary accounts. Deputies have not recovered or publicly described a weapon, and they did not say whether forced entry was observed. The department said additional findings will be released when confirmed.
Neighbors said fatal violence is rare on the block and described the residents as friendly. “Oh my God, we are so surprised. Nothing like this has ever happened,” said Angela Aybar, who has lived nearby more than 20 years. Another neighbor, Elaine Gonzalez, called the street “a calm neighborhood,” adding that people often wave to one another on evening walks. Several neighbors said a couple lived in the home with two children, and they watched as the Medical Examiner removed two bodies after nightfall. “It is very devastating, especially for the family to go through this during the upcoming holidays,” Aybar said.
The address falls within unincorporated Southwest Miami-Dade, just south of the Country Walk development and west of the Turnpike. Deputies closed the immediate area for several hours Saturday while crime-scene technicians photographed rooms, collected shell casings, and canvassed for cameras. Investigators also sought doorbell video from nearby homes. Records show homicide detectives routinely conduct parallel interviews and evidence reviews in the first 24 to 48 hours after a scene is secured, including ballistics checks and next-of-kin notifications. Authorities did not release the 911 audio beyond dispatch summaries and did not detail any prior calls for service to the address.
Detectives said the Medical Examiner will perform autopsies to confirm how the victims were killed and document wound trajectories. No charges had been filed as of Sunday afternoon, and deputies did not name any person of interest. Officials said additional investigative steps include reviewing digital evidence, tracing any firearm recovered, and confirming whether children were present when the gunfire occurred. If the case is determined to be domestic-related, it would be handled under the county’s protocols for family and intimate-partner violence cases, which include specialized victim services and sealed reports in some circumstances.
By early evening Saturday, patrol cars and unmarked vehicles lined the block as homicide detectives moved in and out of the garage and front entry. Yellow tape cordoned off the driveway; a county medical examiner van idled nearby. A few residents gathered at the corner and quietly traded updates, pointing to camera doorbells and porch lights that may have captured arrivals and departures. “They were very friendly,” said one neighbor, describing the people who lived there as quick with a wave when others passed by.
As of Sunday at 3:45 p.m., the sheriff’s office had confirmed the victims’ identities but released no information on a suspect, threat to the public, or possible motive. Detectives plan to continue interviews and evidence processing into the week. The next significant update is expected after autopsy findings are complete or if investigators announce an arrest or person of interest.
