The Larimer County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the identities of the two people killed in a home in eastern Loveland July 28 and the Weld County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the death of the suspect in the incident.

According to a release from the Larimer County Coroner’s Office, the two people killed a the home in the 300 block of Pavo Court were 41-yearold Lindsay Daum and 16-year-old Meadow Sinner. Both deaths were caused by multiple gunshot wounds and the manner was ruled a homicide.

The Weld County Coroner’s Office confirmed that the man found in Erie was 49-year-old Javier Acevedo Jr. of Fort Lupton, the man named by officers as a person of interest in Daum and Sinner’s deaths. According to the Weld County release, Acevedo died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

While Daum and Sinner’s identities were both officially released Monday evening, their names had been released by family members in a Gofundme page that, as of around 5:40 p.m. Monday, had raised more than $29,000 in just a few days. The money will help support Daum’s four surviving children, ages 2, 4, 12 and 14.

First responders arrived en masse to the home on Pavo Court July 28 on a weapons complaint call.

After Loveland SWAT safely evacuated the children and confirmed there was no suspect in the house, officers began looking for Acevedo who was named a person of interest in the shooting.

The search ultimately led officers to a house in the 600 block of Grimson Place in Erie. Shortly after police arrived in the area, Acevedo was declared dead by an apparent selfinflic­ted gunshot wound.
