REPORTED SUICIDE MAY BE HOMICIDE

A call to police to report a suicide Saturday evening may have led to a homicide investigation instead.
When police responded to the call from Mahogany Run, they found the body of Anthony Rizza in his truck and a handgun a short distance from the body, according to Radio One news.
The report, not yet confirmed by police, said Rizza's wife told police she and her husband fought and while Rizza was still enraged, he killed himself.
But reports indicate evidence at the scene led police to suspect foul play.
An autopsy should be completed by late Monday afternoon, sources said.
Rizza was co-owner of a welding shop in Sub Base and served on the board of directors of the Mahogany Run Condominium Association.
