Community mourns after Princeton mother dies in murder-suicide
PRINCETON, Ind. (WEHT) — The Princeton community is mourning the loss of an educator, mother, and friend.
Police say Larrisa Davis was shot and killed yesterday in a murder-suicide. Police say she was found dead in a car in Baldwin Heights Apartments.
'I was just kind of shocked,' says David Martin.
Martin lives about two blocks away from where the murder took place.
'This is a very quiet neighborhood, and nothing ever happens here. I have lived here my whole life,' says Martin.
Police say they later found the suspect, Richard Ingle Jr., dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a car miles away, in Sullivan County, Indiana. Police now say they believe the victim and suspect knew each other, and were previously in a relationship.
The death surprised the Princeton community and the school system, where students say Davis served as a teacher's aide. Students say has been rough for classmates and staff.
'A lot of people were crying, ' students say.
Close friends say Davis leaves behind a daughter, who they say should be celebrating her high school graduation this weekend, and is mourning the loss of her mother.
Penny McIntire Goddard helped organize a fundraiser to help with funeral expenses. A fundraising account has been set up at Old National Bank in Princeton titled 'Miss Maddie's Walk'.
