On April 25, 2024, at 2:23 in the afternoon, Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 1300 block of Monroe-Orleans County Line Road in the Town of Hamlin for the report of a woman found deceased in her home. Based upon the initial investigation, it appears the woman succumbed to injuries sustained from a gunshot wound. Upon further investigation, another resident was found inside the house with injuries and was transported to a local hospital, listed in critical condition. Deputies secured the area while technicians processed the scene for evidence.
