Patrick Dell Murders Wife, Natasha Whyte-Dell, Four Stepchildren Before Committing Suicide

SHOCK: Patrick Dell, a south Florida man, shot and killed his wife, Natasha Whyte-Dell, and four stepchildren Monday before committing suicide, according to the Florida Sun Sentinel. Dell went on the shooting rampage just before 2:00 a.m. A police officer reportedly heard gunshots and saw Dell leaving a residence at approximately 2:00am.

Authorities found the bodies of Dell’s estranged wife, 36-year-old Natasha Whyte-Dell, and four of Dell’s stepchildren, aged 10, 11, 13 and 14. A 15-year-old stepson was also shot and injured. Dell’s two children with Whyte-Dell, aged one and three, were unharmed. Source: Sun Sentinel

Once again, this is another case of domestic violence. This didn't have to happen. Mr. Dell could have gone his way and left his family alone. It is ironic that he took the lives of his stepchildren and not his own.
