Seven deputies in Broward County, Florida are on leave as Sheriff Gregory Tony investigates their handling of a domestic violence dispute that resulted in a triple homicide. Mary Gingles, her father, and a neighbor were killed, while her daughter was kidnapped but later found safe. The sheriff criticized the deputies’ performance as “piss-poor” and blamed complacency and lack of due diligence for the tragic outcome. The sheriff acknowledged that the office failed to save the victims’ lives and opened an internal investigation to identify shortcomings. Prior calls from the Gingles’ home revealed a history of domestic violence, with Mary seeking injunctions against her husband multiple times. The sheriff focused on missed opportunities in responding to these calls, particularly in October and December when Mary expressed fear for her life. Despite evidence that could have led to the husband’s arrest, deputies fell short in taking appropriate action. Nathan Gingles, the husband, is currently in custody facing charges including first-degree murder, kidnapping, and child abuse. The sheriff vowed that those responsible for the mishandling of the situation will face consequences, with some potentially losing their jobs. The deputies involved have not commented publicly, and the sheriff’s office is facing criticism for failing to prevent the tragic outcome of the domestic violence dispute.
