A Minnesota community is reeling after the deaths of a 43-year-old nurse and her two young adult sons over the weekend.

Jamie Lee Charles, 43, and her 19-year-old son Willie Samuel Shaw Jr., were found deceased in their Inver Grove Heights, Minn. home after officers responded to a welfare check request, the Inver Grove Heights Police Department said in a statement on Sunday, Aug. 30.

Charles’ elder son Jaymison Samuel Shaw, 22, was also found deceased and is believed to have been the suspect in the apparent double murder-suicide, police said in an update.

The bodies were found on Sunday, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press and CBS News.

The investigation began after law enforcement received a request for a welfare check of one person at the residence, according to the police statement, but it wasn’t immediately clear who among the victims was that person.

Charles was a devoted mother who publicly shared her journey with her sons, often celebrating their accomplishments on social media.

In a Facebook post on Aug. 16, she shared about the anniversary of a health issue that left her “laying in a hospital dying.”

“I didn’t understand how with a blink of an eye my life got flipped upside down,” she wrote. “I am forever grateful for my family and friends that have been there for me in my journey!”

Family, friends and community members are now mourning the deceased.

At a vigil held on Monday, Aug. 31, many wore T-shirts that read “Long live Jamie & Willie,” the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

“We’re going to remember her by her laugh,” Charles’ friend Jarid Friese said, per the outlet.

In a statement posted online Monday, Simley Boys Basketball — where Willie played — remembered him as a “friend, a teammate, and someone who made an impact on the people around him.”

“His connection to Simley continues through the many students and friends who had the privilege of knowing him and who carry his memory with them today,” read part of the statement.

“I love them little dudes. Regardless of what happened, what goes on, that’s my family,” the brothers’ uncle Natja Shaw told the Pioneer Press at Monday’s vigil.

The victims’ family members are now calling for mental illness to be treated seriously.

“Do not, absolutely do not, play with mental health. If someone is showing that they have signs, don’t (just) talk about it — help. We’ve got to stop looking aside,” said their great-aunt Ozell Shaw, according to the outlet.
