Martial Arts fighter, Justin Levens and his wife, Sarah McLean’s deaths may have a murder-suicide tragic. Levens could have shot his wife, Sarah McLean then killed himself! The couple was found shot to death in their Laguna Niguel condo in California on Wednesday afternoon by McLean’s mother. Levens was 28 and McLean, 25.
An Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman said Levens, 28, died of a gunshot to the head, and his wife, Sara McLean-Levens, 25, suffered a fatal single gunshot to the chest that penetrated her heart.
A handgun was found near Justin Levens’ body, and a police spokesman said if it’s established to be a murder-suicide, the MMA fighter was “definitely the shooter.”
Levens, who fought as a lightweight MMA fighter, was suspended by the California State Athletic Commission after testing positive for a banned pain-killing medication earlier this year. Justin would later fight and lose on an Indian reservation card in Lemoore, and was troubled by a career on the down slide, said his close friend, Tom Atencio.
Levens raised in low-income housing projects in Philadelphia, had a rough childhood and was “on his own since 15,” said Atencio, who shared holiday meals with Levens and called him “one of my best friends.”
“He had suffered quite a few consecutive losses. Fighting was his life and it wasn’t going well for him,” Atencio said. “I wish I could answer what happened. I don’t know.” – LA Times
Too young to die, our hearts go out to their families!
Do you think it’s a murder-suicide tragic? I feel more sorry for his poor wife.
