Florida Man Charged in Triple Homicide and Kidnapping of 4-Year-Old Daughter

Authorities investigate failures by deputies after domestic violence reports were ignored, leading to a deadly shooting in Tamarac.

Nathan Gingles, 43, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder after allegedly killing his wife, her father, and a neighbor in Tamarac, Florida, on February 16, 2025.
Gingles reportedly kidnapped his 4-year-old daughter, Seraphine, prompting a statewide Amber Alert; the child was later found safe with him and unharmed.
Mary Gingles, the suspect's wife, had sought protection multiple times, filing domestic violence injunctions and warning deputies of threats to her life, but no arrest was made prior to the murders.
Seven Broward County deputies have been placed on leave as the sheriff investigates alleged mishandling of prior domestic violence calls and failures to act on warning signs.
The killings, which included a neighbor who tried to help Mary Gingles, have raised questions about law enforcement accountability and domestic violence response protocols.
