What we know:

TCSO says it received a 911 call just before 11:30 a.m. about a domestic disturbance and shooting at a home in the 4500 block of Secure Lane. 

Deputies arrived to find Juarez and Nation with gunshot wounds and initiated CPR on Juarez as her "injuries were obviously serious." Those efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead on scene just after noon.

Nation was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The preliminary investigation indicates that Nation shot Juarez, and then was shot by his brother. 

What's next:

TCSO says that detectives are still interviewing family members who were there at the time to determine the motive behind the shooting.

No charges are pending against the brother who shot Nation at this time.
