Police believe Dingwall was responsible for the deaths and noted previous calls to his home regarding medical or suspicious activities. A neighbor reported hearing gunshots around midnight the night before but did not contact authorities. The community has rallied to support Piccolo through a GoFundMe campaign raising over $15,000 as of Friday morning.

Story summary
On Wednesday afternoon in Cocoa, Florida, Olivia Piccolo arrived at her ex-husband's house to pick up their children as part of their custody agreement but found them and him dead inside the home. The victims were Piccolo’s five-year-old daughter Aria and seven-year-old son Remy, along with their father Joseph Dingwall, who police believe killed his children before taking his own life. Piccolo called 911 after entering through an ajar front door to find all three deceased. Earlier in the day, there were reports of two gunshots heard near Dingwall’s home and surveillance footage showing him pacing with a flashlight, though no immediate action was taken by neighbors or authorities following these incidents.
