Man, woman shot to death identified as married couple

Two people found dead in a Kailua-­Kona apartment earlier this month have been identified as Joy K. Mills-­Ferren and her husband, Bradley A. Wood-Ferren.

Autopsy results indicated Mills-Ferren, 48, and Wood-Ferren, 56, each died from a single gunshot wound.

Police said a neighbor had not seen Mills-Ferren for several days and went to check on her and Wood-Ferren. Their apartment on the 75-600 block of Alii Drive was locked.

The neighbor called Mills-Ferren’s mother in Honolulu because she was concerned. Police said the mother asked the neighbor who had a spare key to the unit to check on them. The neighbor called police on the morning of Aug. 3 after she discovered the bodies in the second-floor apartment.
