On December 29, 2014, Susan Marie James, a 59-year-old female, was found deceased in her Plymouth, Minnesota, home. Concerned when she and another occupant of the house did not show up for work, colleagues requested a welfare check. Upon their arrival, police discovered two bodies inside the residence.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner determined that Susan Marie James died from a gunshot wound to the head, and her death was classified as a homicide.
The second individual found at the scene was identified as her husband, David Gilbert James. While the specific circumstances surrounding his death were not immediately detailed in initial reports, the situation was investigated as a possible murder-suicide.
Authorities did not name any suspects or announce any arrests in connection with Susan's death. The investigation pointed towards a domestic violence incident, and her death was included in a list of domestic violence-related fatalities in Minnesota for that year. The case was treated as an ongoing investigation at the time, with no further details released about other potential suspects.
