Sgt. Michael Burrow of HPD's Homicide Division said in a press conference Wednesday that an investigation found that Tom was the only person who had the"means, motive and opportunity to have committed the murder."He said there was a history of domestic violence between the couple -- though Alexis Sharkey never filed any complaint with police -- and their relationship was on the rocks.
"Mr. Sharkey avoided them, ran upstairs when he learned law enforcement was there for him. And he took his own life using a firearm," Burrow said.Alexis Sharkey via InstagramMORE: Horrifying new details in Miya Marcano case: 19-year-old was found with hands, feet bound with duct tape
