On October 15, 2023, Marion County Sheriff’s Office detectives responded to a home on Southeast 52nd Avenue in Ocala, Florida, specifically in the Whispering Sands area. Upon arrival, they found two individuals deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. The victims were identified as 32-year-old Kevin Ray Russell and 60-year-old Sandy Kara Bobman.
The incident was reported by a friend of the two victims who had gone to the apartment to check on Bobman and Russell and discovered their
bodies. The case was subsequently turned over to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes unit, which is currently investigating the pair’s death as a double homicide.
As of the latest updates, the investigation into the deaths of Russell and Bobman remains ongoing. Detectives have been following up on tips, but there have been no new significant developments in the case. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate this incident, which is unrelated to other double deaths that occurred in the same month in Marion County.
