Deputies responded and discovered two people had been shot outside the residence. The suspect was there waiting at the scene and was detained. One victim was dead; the other was taken to a local hospital and is in critical but stable condition.
BCSO Criminal Investigators responded and after subsequent investigation, it is believed Michael McCoy, age 43, shot his wife, Susan McCoy, age 37, and David Walker after discovering the two were romantically involved. Susan McCoy had invited Walker to stay with her and her husband at their home on Rhonda Road after Walker was released from the Bay County Jail. He was arrested on February 1, 2014 on a Domestic Violence charge. Last night suspect Michael McCoy discovered the affair and confronted his wife who admitted to the involvement with Walker. According to Michael McCoy, who suffers from physical disabilities and has difficulty walking, at that time he took out a handgun to commit suicide but his wife was able to calm him down.
Michael McCoy demanded Walker leave. All three were in the front yard outside the home when Walker and Michael McCoy began a verbal disagreement. It is then that Investigators believe Michael McCoy shot Walker multiple times, killing him. According to Michael McCoy, Susan McCoy was trying to prevent the incident and was accidentally shot. She is in a local hospital.
The body of David Walker, 5/10/67, has been turned over to the medical examiner for autopsy. The investigation is ongoing.
