Two elderly residents of a Golden Gate home were found shot to death on September 13, 2011, in a case that remains unsolved. Carmen Mercedes Perez-Stolts, 81, and her 71-year-old boyfriend Ludwig Volksheimer were discovered on the master bedroom bed at 5770 Sea Grass Lane after deputies responded to a suspicious incident. The lead investigator, Detective Andrew Henchesmoore, believes the couple was killed sometime the morning of Sept. 13; both victims had been shot multiple times despite an initial appearance of stabbing noted by a family member.

Courtney Edward Woode, the son of Perez-Stolts, last saw the couple around 9:30 p.m. the previous night and spoke with his mother by phone around 9 a.m. the next morning. When he returned to the house later that day he found the bodies and a great deal of blood. A person of interest has been developed but no arrest has been made. Investigators canvassed the neighborhood and processed the scene; detectives say someone may have information that could break the case.

If anyone knew Carmen Perez-Stolts or Ludwig Volksheimer, or has information about the Golden Gate neighborhood on or before Sept. 13, 2011, please come forward.
