91-Year-Old Man Charged in Wife's Murder | Jacksonville News

A 91-year-old man in St. Johns County has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly shooting his 87-year-old wife, whom he claimed he was protecting from a nursing home — even though she suffered from severe Alzheimer’s. His son called 911 after arriving to find his mother dead, discovering a gun and a note nearby. The elderly caregiver reportedly tried to take his own life afterward but failed. Despite their past recognition for supporting domestic assault victims, no prior domestic issues were recorded. The suspect now faces court without a scheduled date, represented by a public defender.
