Deborah Watson and two other men were found dead as the result of gunshot wounds earlier this week.

A Burlington County woman was among three people found dead as the result of gunshot wounds in a shed in Florida earlier this week, the Burlington County Times reports. All three had been shot in the head.

Deborah Watson, 54, was living in the shed with two other homeless people in Orlando, according to the report. Watson grew up in Riverside and attended Delran High School.

The two men were identified as 65-year-old Richard Button and 57-year-old Todd Lemme. Watson's boyfriend is one of two suspects in the murder, according to the report.

Watson and her son moved to Orlando 15 years ago to take care of her father, according to the report. After he died, his house went into foreclosure and Watson was forced to seek other living arrangements. Her son has a home, but she declined to live with him, according to the report.
