Port St. Lucie 8th grade teacher killed in front of her children in West Palm Beach murder-suicide

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — WPBF 25 News is learning more about a murder-suicide in West Palm Beach, which was the result of domestic violence.

Investigators with Port St. Lucie police say Manatee K-8 Academy teacher, 45-year-old Jamie Felix, was kidnapped along with her two children at the 9000 block of S. US-1 in Port St. Lucie on Friday evening by Jamie Felix's estranged husband, Ray Felix.

Detectives say coworkers of Jamie Felix received a suspicious email from Jamie Felix on Friday evening and were then not able to get in contact with her, prompting them to call police.

At some point, the rental car returned to the area of S US-1, when 60-year-old Ray Felix forced one of the kids to drive the rental car while Ray Felix also forced Jamie Felix to drive her vehicle. The two vehicles then drove in tandem all the way to the Quality Inn near Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach.
