DailyKenn.com — Jamie Rae Felix, 45, was fatally shot in West Palm Beach, FL. 

Accused was the victim's estranged husband, Ray Felix, 60. 

Police in Port St. Lucie provided updates on Monday regarding the tragic murder-suicide involving a 45-year-old math teacher.

Jamie Felix, a teacher at Manatee Academy K-8, was fatally shot by her estranged husband, 60-year-old Ray Felix. Ray had also been employed at Manatee Academy but resigned in October following his arrest for domestic violence against Jamie.

Both had been working at the school since 2019, with Ray serving in various capacities, including site maintenance worker, paraprofessional, Dean's clerk, and behavioral technician.

In October, Jamie filed for divorce, and shortly after Ray's domestic violence arrest, a domestic violence injunction was issued against him. Port St. Lucie Police Chief Richard Del Toro confirmed that there was no evidence of Ray violating the injunction until the tragic incident last Friday.

According to Del Toro, Jamie was leaving Urban Air Park on U.S. Highway 1 with her children when she was confronted by Ray. He forced her and their two children into a vehicle, driving them to various locations in St. Lucie County. They later returned to retrieve Jamie's car and drove towards West Palm Beach. During this time, an email was sent to Jamie's coworkers, falsely claiming she had lied about the domestic violence incident.

"We believe the email was sent under duress," Del Toro stated. "It's crucial to highlight the importance of reporting suspicious activities. If you see something, say something."

Following Jamie's disappearance, police located a "hit" on Ray's vehicle at a West Palm Beach hotel. West Palm Beach police reported that Ray fatally shot Jamie in front of their two sons and then took his own life when approached by police.

The entire tragic event unfolded in a span of about 70 minutes.

"This is a devastating tragedy affecting not only Jamie but also her family, friends, coworkers, and community," Del Toro commented.
