Mandy Coxwell, 34, a female White/Caucasian from Sarasota, was found dead on July 29, 2025, behind the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet at 4092 Cattlemen Road after deputies responded just after sunrise to a 911 call. Her body and that of 33-year-old Cameron Marsh were discovered beneath a semi-truck trailer in the store’s loading bay, a place where workers said the pair were sometimes seen seeking shelter at night.
Three spent casings and a handgun were recovered near the bodies, setting the scene for what investigators would shortly confirm.
By week’s end, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office identified both individuals and announced that the case had been classified as a murder-suicide. Autopsy findings reported that Coxwell died from a gunshot wound to the head, while Marsh sustained fatal self-inflicted wounds under the chin and in the neck. The timeline pointed to the quiet, early-morning hours, the discovery coming around 6:27 to 6:30 a.m., when the loading bay was still and the store was closed.
The determination of murder-suicide left no room for arrests, and investigators did not seek additional suspects. What remained were small, corroborating details—spent casings, a single handgun, and the routine familiarity of two people known to frequent the area—that supported the conclusion that Marsh shot Coxwell before taking his own life. Authorities notified next of kin and noted that, while the inquiry would continue for completeness, there was no indication of a wider threat or involvement beyond the two who died in that loading bay.
Public records of the incident fix the date and place of Coxwell’s death and preserve her name among those lost to gun violence that day in Sarasota. Separate listings and community notices echo the essentials of the case, while local reporting reinforces the sheriff’s account and the medical examiner’s findings.
