Saldin McIntosh, a 41-year-old man from Pflugerville, Texas, died on June 26, 2016, in what was determined to be a murder-suicide. The tragic incident was discovered by McIntosh's 8-year-old son, who called 911 after finding his parents dead. According to police reports, McIntosh's wife, 39-year-old Lakeisha Nicole Glass, had been stabbed multiple times, and her body was found on the stairwell of their home.
McIntosh was found dead in a vehicle in the garage with a single gunshot wound.
The preliminary investigation indicated that McIntosh had stabbed his wife before taking his own life. Neighbors reported having heard arguments and disturbances from the couple's home in the days leading up to the incident. Police records also showed several 911 calls from the residence, including one instance where Glass reported McIntosh had stolen her firearm. McIntosh had been arrested and charged in connection with this incident, but there were no prior domestic violence issues recorded.
The boy, who was present during the incident, was placed in the custody of Child Protective Services until his relatives arrived from out of state to care for him. The Pflugerville Police Department expressed condolences to the families affected by the tragedy and encouraged the public to become involved in domestic violence prevention efforts.
This heartbreaking event serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help and intervention when needed.
