A man in Florida<\/u><\/a> who allegedly gunned down six people in a shooting spree at two properties in Sarasota and Fort Lauderdale before killing himself has been identified, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect, Russell Kot, 51, had “been in\u00a0a previous\u00a0romantic relationship with one of the\u00a0victims in Fort Lauderdale,” and that victim was linked to the victims in Sarasota.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deputies said they first responded to a 911 call advising that an adult male was shot early Tuesday afternoon at a home in the Amberlea neighborhood in Sarasota. Neighbors were “actively performing” CPR on that victim in the front yard when deputies arrived, and he was transferred to the Sarasota County Fire Department. That male was later pronounced dead, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Fearing for the safety of the\u00a0victim\u2019s wife, deputies entered the residence where they\u00a0located\u00a0four\u00a0additional\u00a0deceased adult\u00a0victims \u2014 two females and two males,” it added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“While\u00a0attempting\u00a0to\u00a0identify\u00a0the\u00a0victims and potential suspect, detectives received information from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department<\/u><\/a> (FLPD)\u00a0advising\u00a0they were working a double homicide and believed the Sarasota shooting to be related to the investigation they are working,” the sheriff\u2019s office said. “FLPD provided suspect vehicle information and advised that following their homicide, the vehicle was captured on camera traveling northbound through Punta Gorda prior to the Sarasota homicide.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Detectives worked with Amberlea HOA representatives and neighbors, and were able to recover video of the suspect\u2019s vehicle entering the neighborhood at 11:01 a.m. The sound of gunfire was captured shortly after on a neighbor\u2019s Ring camera<\/u><\/a>. Approximately 37 minutes later, the male\u00a0victim, who was found in the front lawn, was captured entering the neighborhood in his vehicle. The\u00a0victim approached the front door where he was shot,” deputies also said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kot was found dead inside the Sarasota home, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It identified the other victims there as Olga Greinert, 49, Florita Stolyar, 66, Anatoly Ioffe, 61 and Yaroslav\u00a0Blyudoy, 39.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Based on our preliminary investigation,\u00a0it appears that the suspect\u00a0died of\u00a0self-inflicted wounds, and there are no known documented mental health crises nor history of violence associated with him,” the Sarasota County Sheriff\u2019s Office said. “The suspect\u2019s motivation for targeting the Sarasota\u00a0victims is unknown.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victims in the Fort Lauderdale shooting, which happened in the Victoria Park neighborhood, were identified as Larisa\u00a0Blyudaya, 48, and Ben\u00a0Azivov, 18, according to NBC Miami.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe\u00a0Askerberg, the property manager of the home where those victims were found, told the station that they were a mother and son.<\/p>\n

“Gutted obviously for the whole family involved,”\u00a0Askerberg\u00a0said to NBC Miami. “Larisa was so bubbly and never negative; she was always in good spirits.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fort Lauderdale Police Department did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
