FLORIDA – An investigation is underway in the death of two Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies whose bodies were discovered on Saturday night, January 29, 2022, at a vacation rental home located on the 5300 block of A1A South in St. Augustine, FL.

While details are still preliminary, we have learned that the deputies involved, who were in a romantic relationship, were heard arguing in a bedroom by fellow deputies on vacation with them just prior to the sound of gunshots. Both deputies were discovered with fatal gunshot wounds. The preliminary investigation indicates that the gunshot wound to Detective Daniel Leyden appears to be self-inflicted and that he was the sole shooter. Detective Leyden worked within the Criminal Investigations Division. The victim is also a deputy, assigned to Uniform Patrol District III.

All the circumstances and facts of this tragedy, including the motive, remain under investigation by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office. The HCSO Peer Support Team, a group of employees who volunteer to provide confidential assistance to other employees and their families in times of trauma, is in touch with the immediate colleagues of both deputies involved and available as a resource to all HCSO personnel.

“Our Sheriff’s Office family is still reeling from the shock of this unthinkable tragedy. My prayers for strength and comfort are with the families and loved ones of these deputies, and every member of Team HCSO affected by this painful loss,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Violence is never a solution, and I urge any employee who is dealing with a crisis to take advantage of the many resources our agency has created over the past several years which include Peer Support, Chaplains, and a clinical psychologist. Help is just a phone call away.”

Any additional information regarding the investigation into this matter should be directed to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

What a terrible situation.

One has to wonder if the radical left’s abandonment and outright hatred for law enforcement had anything to do with the behavior of these officers.

Police are treated like dogs every day thanks to the garbage from the left which escalated with the Manchurian president Barack Hussein Obama.

When you see a Law Enforcement Officer be sure to thank them, tell them how much you appreciate them, tell them you’ve got their backs and to stay safe.

That’s what I do.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families, friends and fellow officers.

So tragic.
