What we know:
Deputies responded to 121 Musket Drive around 11:16 p.m. in Satsuma Friday after receiving a call about a man pointing a firearm at family members inside the home. A caller reportedly ran from the home before dispatchers received a second call regarding gunfire on Musket Drive.
Arriving deputies said they found 19-year-old Uyleses Servin outside the home holding a gun and a small child. Servin dropped the weapon when ordered, allowing deputies to rescue the child and take him into custody.
Deputies said they found Servin's parents shot in separate areas outside. Paramedics treated 51-year-old Miguel Servin, but he later died at the hospital. His mother, 47-year-old Cecilia Servin, died at the scene. According to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, detectives determined that an argument between Servin, his parents, and other family members escalated into shooting, forcing two other adults inside to run for safety as gunfire erupted.
