Woodbury County Sheriff Releases Information On Murder, Attempted Suicide

Sergeant Bluff, Iowa — The Woodbury County Sheriff released more information Sunday on a shooting in Sergeant Bluff Friday evening.

Sheriff Chad Sheehan says it appears 43-year-old Raymond Rogers shot his estranged wife and the man she was living with and then shot himself. Deputies who responded to a shots fired call looked through a window and saw Rogers on the floor.

The 50-year-old man, Gerele Jones died, and the woman, 40-year-old Ashley Rogers was taken to the hospital. Raymond Rogers is hospitalized in critical condition. Sheriff Sheehan credited the boy with calling deputies amid the shooting.

He says the boy is the son of Jones, who was killed.

Sheehan says it is fair to term the case as a murder and attempted suicide, though the investigation has not been completed.
