Sheriff: Florida man shot and killed teenage daughter and three others

CANAVERAL GROVES, Fla. (AP) — A man was arrested in downtown Florida Wednesday after he fatally shot and killed his teenage daughter and three others, authorities said.

Domenico Gigante, 36, faces four charges of first-degree murder, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said during a news conference.

Deputies responded to the house in Canaveral Groves early Wednesday morning after one of the two surviving children called for help, officials said. Canaveral Groves is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) from Cape Canaveral.

Deputies found the bodies of 15-year-old Kiarra Terwilliger and her mother, Constance Terwilliger, who were previously in a relationship with Gigante, Ivey said. Two other victims were identified as Glenda Terwilliger, 63, and Michael Andrew Watson, 36.

Officials did not name a motive for the murder.

Gigante was arrested late Wednesday at his home in Rockledge, about 15 miles (24 km) south of the crime scene, officials said.

The giant was kept without bail. The prison’s online records do not mention a defense lawyer who could comment on the case.
