In the quiet community of Satsuma, Florida, a domestic argument on a late Friday night in July escalated into a tragedy that claimed the lives of 47-year-old Cecilia Servin and her 51-year-old husband, Miguel Servin. The couple's 19-year-old son, Uyleses Servin, is accused of shooting both of his parents during the dispute at their home on Musket Drive on July 31, 2026.
Neighbors described the Servin family as kind and friendly people who would always wave as they passed by, making the sudden violence all the more shocking to the community.
The events of that fatal night began to unfold when Putnam County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to the Servin residence after receiving a call about gunshots. According to reports, the argument inside the home had turned violent, prompting Uyleses to allegedly draw a semi-automatic handgun. Witnesses reported hearing Cecilia plead with her son, saying, "Don't do it," just before she was fatally shot in the head. As Cecilia and Miguel tried to flee the house, Uyleses allegedly continued to fire, striking his father multiple times. Cecilia Servin was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, Miguel, was treated by paramedics but ultimately succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. Other family members, including the suspect's sister and uncle, were present during the altercation and managed to escape the home unharmed; the uncle reportedly jumped out of a window to get to safety.
When deputies arrived, they found Uyleses Servin outside the residence and took him into custody without further incident. He was arrested and transported to the Putnam County Jail, where he is being held without bond. Uyleses Servin has been charged with two counts of homicide, two counts of firing into a building or vehicle, three counts of aggravated assault, and one count of child neglect. The investigation into the double homicide is ongoing, with authorities continuing to piece together the circumstances that led to the deadly confrontation. While a suspect is in custody and facing serious charges, the legal process is still in its early stages, and the case has yet to proceed to trial for any potential conviction and sentencing. The community is left to grapple with the loss of two of its members at the hands of their own son.
