The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating Monday after two bodies were found inside a home in Deltona.The victims in the apparent murder-suicide were identified by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office as Jonathan Jeanniton, 29, and Akeyla McCoy, 23.Deputies went to 305 Providence Boulevard following a 911 call received at the communications center for the Sheriff's Office's at 1:56 p.m., reporting a shooting.Deputies entered the home and found the bodies of McCoy and Jeanniton in a bedroom. Two small children who were in the home when deputies arrived were unharmed, officials said."I wouldn't think something like this would ever happen," a neighbor told WESH 2 News.Investigators said that the deaths may be the result of a murder-suicide."We heard a young lady screaming. We didn't think anything of it," said a neighbor, who only wishes to be identified as Alex.But then the screaming stopped, after Alex heard gunfire next door on Providence Boulevard."It was basically more like a scream. A yell. Like, 'Ah!'" Alex said. "I heard her screaming and then I heard a shot.""So frantic that you can barely understand what's being said," said Volusia County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Gary Davidson, regarding the 911 call.Alex said he knows very little about the couple, other than that the kids were inside the home on Monday afternoon."That was my main concern. I hope the kids are alright," Alex said."When our deputies came in contact with those children, they didn't seem to have any awareness of what was going on," Davidson said.What led to the couple's troubles on Labor Day will be hard to figure out."Obviously, other than the children, the only two other people who could tell us what happened, unfortunately, are deceased," Davidson said.The Sheriff's Office said the kids are staying with a relative.There have been no serious signs of trouble at the home before.The deaths are being investigated by the Major Case Unit of the Sheriff's Office.
