A domestic violence murder-suicide in Presque Isle, Maine, ended with the deaths of 14-month-old Quinten Leavitt and his 35-year-old father, Matthew Leavitt. Police were first called to a home at 728 Reach Road on a Saturday in March 2019; the situation turned into a standoff that lasted through the night and involved the Maine State Police Tactical Team and negotiators. In the early hours of Sunday the tactical team entered the house and discovered two bodies.

Autopsies by the state medical examiner determined both father and son died of a single gunshot wound. Investigators concluded Matthew Leavitt shot his son and then himself. Authorities treated the incident as a domestic violence murder-suicide and said there was no ongoing threat. Anyone with information about the family or the events leading up to that weekend is asked to come forward.
