CHIEFLAND, Fla. (WCJB) - Levy County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man for tampering with the scene of an apparent murder-suicide.

Sheriff’s deputies say Gavin Selfridge, 23, called 911 on Dec. 5, his birthday, to report that Robert Lee Carter, 58, and a woman were dead at a home in Chiefland.

Selfridge told deputies he went to the home to do a well-being check on the pair and found them dead.

When deputies arrived, they found both Carter and the woman dead with apparent gunshot wounds. After a complex investigation, they determined that Carter shot the woman and then himself.

When Selfridge arrived, he used his own gun to fire additional rounds into Carter’s body. He was charged with evidence tampering and abuse of human remains.
