“Florida Man Commits Murder-Suicide, Killing Pregnant Trans Partner: Sheriff”

The recent tragic incident in Winter Haven, Florida, has left the community devastated. A Florida man allegedly shot and killed his transgender partner, who was eight months pregnant, before turning the gun on himself. The victim’s unborn baby was unable to be saved despite efforts by first responders and medical staff.

The incident took place outside the couple’s home in the Inwood area of Winter Haven. Witnesses reported that the man, identified as Riley John Groover, shot his partner, Camdyn Rider, multiple times in front of them before taking his own life. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has stated that this is being considered a domestic-related double murder-suicide.

Groover and Rider were engaged and expecting a baby boy. Rider had expressed excitement about becoming a parent and marrying Groover on social media. The couple had plans to name their baby Oliver John Lee. Friends and family members have expressed shock and devastation, describing the incident as a violent and horrific double murder.

According to the sheriff’s office, there had been previous arguments between the couple, some of which had turned physical. However, none of these incidents were reported to law enforcement. Groover’s mother revealed that while the couple loved each other, their relationship could be volatile, and they often argued over household chores. She believes that a fight over work around the house led to the tragic murder-suicide.

The community is now mourning the loss of two lives and an unborn child. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has asked for prayers for the family during this difficult time. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting domestic incidents and seeking help when needed. It is a tragic and heartbreaking end to a relationship that was filled with hope and expectation for the future..
