William Roy Singer Jr., a 77-year-old white male, was found dead on October 1, 2022, in Carrollton, Texas. His death was part of a tragic double murder-suicide incident. The Carrollton police identified the victims and the suspect involved in this case. William Roy Singer Jr. was killed by his son, 53-year-old William Randolph Singer, who also murdered his sister, 51-year-old Cheri Ann Singer, before taking his own life.
The bodies were discovered by firefighters who responded to a house fire at the Singer residence on Alto Avenue in North Carrollton. The fire broke out on a Saturday afternoon, and as the firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, they found the three bodies inside the home.
The police investigation revealed that William Randolph Singer had been living with his father at the time of the murders. Cheri Ann Singer, who was a teacher at Holy Covenant Early Childhood Development Program, also lived nearby in Carrollton. The police described the case as an isolated family incident and stated that there was no threat to the public. The cause of death for William Roy Singer Jr. and Cheri Ann Singer was described as "trauma," although the specific details were pending autopsy results. William Randolph Singer was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The motive behind the double murder-suicide remains unclear, and the police have not discussed any potential reasons for the tragic event. The investigation into the cause of the fire and the circumstances leading up to the deaths is ongoing. The community was deeply affected by the loss, and a special gathering was held in honor of Cheri Ann Singer at the Holy Covenant Early Childhood Development Program. The incident has left a lasting impact on the family, friends, and community members who knew and loved the victims.
