A mass shooting occurred on February 10, 2026, at a home in the gated Amberlea subdivision of Sarasota, Florida, resulting in five deaths with no survivors reported at the scene. Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) deputies responded around 12:30 p.m. after a neighbor’s 911 call.
Incident Details
One male victim was found outside the home on Fallcrest Circle, receiving CPR from neighbors; he later died despite medical efforts. Deputies then entered the residence, discovering four more deceased adults—two females and two males—inside, including the suspect. Video evidence captured the suspect entering the gated community around 11 a.m., followed by gunfire on a neighbor’s Ring camera.​
Investigation Updates
Authorities linked the suspect to an earlier murder that day in Fort Lauderdale, where the suspect had a prior romantic relationship with one victim; that individual was connected to the Sarasota victims, though the motive for targeting them remains unclear. SCSO confirmed the incident was isolated, with no ongoing public threat, and prior calls had been made to the address. All victims have been identified, but names await next-of-kin notifications.
