Delaware Police reveal victims’ names in suspected Exeter Drive murder-suicide

DELAWARE — The Delaware Police Department has identified the two people dead from a shooting incident that took place at 626 Exeter Drive in Delaware this morning.

The deceased individuals are Tamara R. Galloway, 56, and Antoine A. Galloway, 57, both residents of the Exeter Drive home in Delaware, according to a release from DPD Chief Adam Moore.

“Based on preliminary findings, investigators believe the incident was domestic in nature and is consistent with a murder-suicide. There is no indication of any ongoing threat to the community,” the release reads.

Police responded to the scene at approximately 7:06 a.m. after a 9-1-1 caller reported her father shot her mother and then shot himself, according to the release.

Upon arrival, officers located two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. An adult male was pronounced deceased at the scene. An adult female was transported by the Delaware Fire Department to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries, according to the release.

Several other family members, adults and juveniles, were also present at the residence, including three generations of family who were also residents.

Those family members were the decedents, their adult children, and numerous minor grandchildren, according to Moore.

A Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) report provided by Moore shows a police officer reported six juveniles in the basement of the home, and a 17-year-old upstairs.

“We do not believe any of the minor children were directly involved in the incident – but they were present in the home,” Moore wrote in an email.

The CAD report also shows all units cleared the scene around 2:19 p.m.

Investigators from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and personnel from the Delaware County Coroner’s Office assisted with the investigation, which is ongoing.
