SPANISH FORT, AL — The communities of Mobile and Baldwin Counties are reeling from heartbreak after authorities confirmed the identities of two individuals found deceased in an apparent murder-suicide on the Causeway early Sunday morning. The victims have been identified as 41-year-old Veromonique Ntseful-Dubose and her husband, 36-year-old Taurean Dubose, both residents of Mobile, Alabama.
According to the Spanish Fort Police Department, officers were dispatched to the eastbound lanes of the Battleship Parkway (Causeway) just after 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 19, 2025, after a passerby reported a white Chevrolet Tahoe parked in an unusual position along the roadway. Upon arrival, officers discovered both Veromonique and Taurean unresponsive inside the vehicle. Emergency responders quickly determined that both were deceased.
Preliminary findings from investigators indicate that Veromonique had suffered fatal injuries consistent with a homicide, while Taurean appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, suggesting a murder-suicide. Authorities have not yet released details about what may have led to this tragic event, but the case remains an active and ongoing investigation.
Spanish Fort Police Chief Michael Huddleston called the discovery “a deeply tragic situation that has shaken our entire community.” He added, “We are working carefully and compassionately to understand what happened and why. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of both individuals during this unimaginably difficult time.”
Law enforcement officials say there were no recent calls or reports related to domestic disturbances involving the couple in the days leading up to the tragedy. However, investigators continue to gather information about the couple’s recent activities and state of mind.
