Mother’s worst fear came true when her estranged husband allegedly carried out the murder she had long warned about—while their 4-year-old daughter watched in horror

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office released the names of all three alleged victims of Nathan Gingles, 43, who was found at a Walmart store with his daughter hours after her mother and grandfather were found shot dead in her Florida home.

Gingles was accused of allegedly shooting his estranged wife, Mary Catherine Gingles, 34; her father David Pozner, 64; and her neighbor Andrew Ferrin, 36, on the morning of Feb. 16.

In a press release, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office said that Pozner was found deceased with a gunshot wound on the back patio of the home where his daughter lived.

Broward County Sheriff’s Detective Lacey Henry wrote in an arrest warrant obtained by WPLG, a local ABC affiliate, that he was still holding the handle of a broken coffee mug after being allegedly shot “in the head while he innocently drank coffee on his back patio.”

The warrant detailed more of the horrific crime scene police observed in the Tamarac, Florida, neighborhood, including the discovery of Mary Gingles’ body at the home of Ferrin, who was also found deceased. Police stated that surveillance video from the neighborhood showed Mary Gingles running to Ferrin’s home for help following the shooting of her father.

WPLG obtained surveillance footage from a neighboring house that recorded the sound of several gunshots followed by a woman screaming. The same camera also allegedly captured Nathan Gingles, walking on the sidewalk, trailed by the 4-year-old daughter he allegedly kidnapped. Henry wrote in the warrant that the two were allegedly following Mary Gingles to Ferrin’s house.

Police believed that the little girl was a witness to all three alleged murders.

Nathan Gingles and Mary Gingles were in the midst of a contentious divorce process that included several instances of domestic violence. At the time of her death, Mary Gingles had a protection order against Nathan Gingles, which he was charged with violating. It was noted in the warrant that deputies saw a domestic violence injunction document in the kitchen and several gun lockboxes.

WPLG reported on Mary Gingles’ fears of her estranged husband, as she described them in court documents. In one handwritten document, Mary Gingles wrote that Nathan Gingles once “sang that he was going to shoot me and there was nothing I could do about it.”

In her injunction victim’s statement, Mary Gingles explicitly said, “Because of Nathan’s psychotic behavior, his multiple threats, his drug use, his multiple/many silenced firearms, and my impending divorce action, I am afraid Nathan will kill me and my daughter.”

The couple’s 4-year-old was the subject of an Amber Alert before she was found with her father. She was unharmed.
