CHIEFLAND, Fla. -- Investigators in Levy County on Wednesday searched for clues after the mysterious deaths of a man, a woman and dozens of animals on a farm.
Deputies were called to the five-acre farm on Tuesday afternoon and made the discovery, Levy County Sheriff's Office Lt. Evan Sullivan said.
Sullivan said the two victims and all of the animals were shot to death, but he said they aren't looking for a suspect in the case. An autopsy is scheduled for the man and woman on Wednesday morning.
The victims were believed to have been in their 50s, but their identities weren't released.
Levy County property records listed Laverne Holter as the owner of the property, located at 5151 NW 127 Pl, Chiefland, Fla.
More than 40 animals were killed, including dozens of goats, seven dogs, a donkey and a miniature horse or pony.
"A stack of goats were found dead in two separate sheds," Sullivan said.
Some animals survived, including several horses, goats and chicken.
Deputies remained at the scene on Wednesday as the investigation continued.
