An FBI agent assigned to the Baltimore field office and his estranged wife died Wednesday morning in Crownsville in what Anne Arundel County police called a murder-suicide.

Donna Fisher, 54, of Crownsville and FBI Special Agent David Raynor, 52, of Annapolis, were pronounced dead by emergency personnel, police said.

FBI spokesman Dave Fitz said Raynor had been a special agent with the bureau since 1996, and had been stationed at the Baltimore office since 2003. Fitz declined to say what Raynor’s duties at the bureau were.

Police were called to the 500 block of Arundel Boulevard shortly after 8 a.m. on a report of a domestic assault. Police said a 911 caller said a woman was being threatened by her estranged husband.

Officers arrived to find a woman and a man — later identified as Fisher and Raynor — outside a home, police said. Both had been stabbed, and the man had suffered what police said was an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

They were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Their bodies were taken to the medical examiner’s office for autopsies, police said.

Fisher filed for divorce last March 2017, online court records show, and the two appeared in an Annapolis courtroom Tuesday. Proceedings were scheduled to continue through today.

Jim Lind, a neighbor who lives next door through a patch of woods, said he knew the two but not socially. He said they had been neighborly and that Raynor had gone out of his way to help him.

“When my wife was sick he provided a small generator,” Lind said. “He was very helpful and friendly. Donna was very friendly and personable, always walking through the neighborhood.”

Ken Heist, who also lives in the neighborhood, said he didn’t really know Fisher and Raynor, but “saw all of the hullabaloo this morning.”

“The first thing I heard was all the sirens coming, then an ambulance and fire truck, Heist said. “Shortly thereafter half the police force showed up.

“Based on that we stayed inside.”

The Palisades neighborhood sits along Little Round Bay on the Severn River just south of Herald Harbor. Most of the homes are several decades old, but not the home where the incident occurred. The couple rebuilt the residence, completing work in 2008, according to county permit records.

It was the second time in two weeks that Anne Arundel police had responded to a scene of multiple deaths. Last week an Odenton couple was found dead from gunshot wounds inside their home.

Police spokesman Marc Limansky said investigators haven’t said whether that incident was a murder-suicide or double homicide. He said he expects the department to rule on the case by the end of the week.
