MARSHFIELD – A 32-year-old Marshfield woman has died after a domestic abuse-related murder-suicide first reported July 6.
The woman, Shaina Farb of Marshfield, died from injuries she suffered during the July 6 incident, which involved a vehicle leaving the road near Wildwood Park and Zoo, according to a July 20 news release from the Marshfield Police Department.
The other person who died, 34-year-old Tyler Johnson of Owen, was a passenger in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene July 6, according to police.
Investigators determined Johnson caused Farb’s death before taking his own life, according to police. Both had a single gunshot wound, according to the Marshfield Police Department’s initial investigation.
At 6:30 a.m. July 6, a caller reported a vehicle went off the road in the 20000 block of South Roddis Avenue, according to police. When emergency personnel arrived, they rescued Farb from the driver’s seat of the vehicle. She was taken to Marshfield Medical Center, where she was initially listed in critical condition.
The investigation remains ongoing, but investigators are not seeking additional suspects, and there is no known ongoing threat to the public, according to police.
