Officers responded to a home on North Winter Park Drive on July 28 where they found Timothy Fitzpatrick in the master bedroom with two gunshot wounds, including one on the side of his neck, according to the department.
While police were at the home, officers were told by Sherry Fitzpatrick that she found her husband unresponsive on the floor the morning after having an argument. According to police, Sherry Fitzpatrick told police she slept in a separate room following the argument.
Officers did not find a gun next to the man, but police were able to locate a handgun in a nightstand drawer in the bedroom. Police said their homicide investigation ended during an Aug. 10 interview with Timothy Fitzpatrick’s wife where she “provided a revised statement” about his death.
A grand jury indicted her in September 2021 on a first-degree premeditated murder charge.
