On April 30, 2024, a tragic incident occurred at a residence in Palm Harbor, Florida, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. Stacey McLean, a 52-year-old woman, was found deceased in one of the bedrooms at her home located at 4192 Moreno Drive.
The incident began when deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call received at approximately 8:24 a.m., reporting that a male and a female had been shot at the residence. Upon arrival, deputies found Stacey McLean dead in a bedroom.
The investigation revealed that the perpetrator was Darryl Serraj, a 26-year-old man from Riverview, near Tampa. Serraj had been in a romantic relationship with McLean’s daughter for about five years, but their relationship had recently ended. Detectives determined that Serraj broke into McLean’s home, murdered her, and then took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found dead in a separate bedroom.
The Medical Examiner’s Office is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. The next of kin has been notified, and the investigation is ongoing.
This incident is being investigated as an apparent murder-suicide, with local law enforcement continuing to gather details and piece together the events leading up to the tragic outcome.
