Teresa Baker, 61, was found dead on August 15, 2022, in her Melbourne, Florida home during a well-being check. Her brother Alford Baker was found dead at the same residence. The medical examiner determined both had been shot multiple times while in their beds.

Police identified their nephew, 31-year-old James Green, as a person of interest. Investigators say Green entered the Bakers’ home in the early hours of August 15 through a door left open for him, spent several hours inside, and then fatally shot both victims. Green was located in Georgia, found with a firearm, driving a vehicle registered to Alford Baker, and exhibiting erratic behavior. He was charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; a grand jury later indicted him on those charges.

Neighbors reported frequent arguments and screaming at the Bakers’ home before the killings. The investigation involves multiple agencies and is ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence. If anyone knew Teresa, Alford, or has information about that night, please share what is known.
