Around 3 a.m. on Sunday, January 26, North Port Police officers responded to a call in the 2700 block of Halladay Street in North Port regarding a deceased individual and a reported self-inflicted death. However, following a thorough investigation, in conjunction with the District 12 Medical Examiner’s Office, it was determined that the victim’s death was not the result of a self-inflicted injury, and elements of the scene had been staged by the suspect.

Miroslav Maksic, 88, has been charged with one count of Homicide in connection to the death of his wife, Miljka Maksic, 76.

Miroslav Maksic was booked into the Sarasota County Jail late Monday night without bond.

“This is a tragic situation, but I’m thankful for the dedicated work of our investigators and the Medical Examiner’s office who worked diligently to quickly uncover the truth. Justice for the victim and loved ones is our top priority, and we remain committed to holding those responsible accountable for their actions,” says North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison.
