A New Jersey insurance executive, David Grodnick, 61, shot his wife Lora, 62, and their daughter Sloane, 24, before killing himself inside their $1.7 million home in Montgomery Township on Oct. 2.
Authorities found Lora and Sloane with fatal gunshot wounds to the head in separate bedrooms, and David was found elsewhere in the residence with a gun still in his hand. The Somerset County Prosecutor's Office classified Lora and Sloane's deaths as homicides and David's as suicide. 1 Officers first responded to the Wild Azalea Lane home around 2:59 p.m. on Oct. 1 for a welfare check but could not locate anyone inside.
They gained entry shortly before 6 p.m. the next evening and discovered the bodies, who were pronounced dead at the scene by Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital personnel.
Prosecutors said the incident was isolated and there is no threat to the public. David Grodnick worked as senior vice president and underwriting counsel at Land Services USA, a Philadelphia-based insurance agency for commercial real estate.
This case is separate from other high-profile New Jersey family killings, including the 2018 Colts Neck murders of the Caneiro family, where Paul Caneiro was sentenced to four consecutive life terms for killing his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children, and the 1971 John List murders in Westfield.
