The Memphis community and the extended family of Victor and Serenity Gonzalez are grappling with profound grief following the tragic deaths of a father and his teenage daughter. Victor Gonzalez, 39, and his 19-year-old daughter, Serenity, were found shot to death early Sunday morning on a gravel road in Panola County, Mississippi, leaving a family devastated and two states mourning a heartbreaking loss.
According to the Panola County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 7 a.m. Sunday to River Road, on the outskirts of Sardis, after a passerby reported what appeared to be a one-car wreck. Upon arrival, authorities discovered Victor and Serenity inside the vehicle, both showing signs of gunshot wounds. Investigators believe the double homicide may have occurred sometime between Saturday and Sunday. Sheriff Shane Phelps has been in contact with the family as the investigation continues, and authorities are urging anyone with information to reach out to CrimeStoppers of Panola County.
