A cross-state murder spree leaves six victims and the gunman dead in Florida.

Authorities are piecing together a horrific trail of violence that stretched 200 miles from Fort Lauderdale to Sarasota this week. The rampage began in an upscale Fort Lauderdale neighborhood where police found Larisa Blyudaya and her 18-year-old son, Ben Azivov, shot to death in their home. Hours later, the suspect, 51-year-old Russell Kot, surfaced in a gated community in Sarasota, where he gunned down four more people—Olga Greinert, Florita Stolyar, Anatoly Ioffe, and Yaroslav Blyudoy—before turning the gun on himself. Investigators believe Kot had a romantic relationship with the first victim in Fort Lauderdale, but they are still searching for a clear motive behind the second set of killings across the state. With no prior history of violence or mental health crises on record for Kot, the community is left reeling from a tragedy that seemingly came out of nowhere.
