TAMALAK, Fla. (WFLA) — Gun authorities believe it was used to kill the man’s estranged wife, his father and neighbor, according to court records obtained by NBC affiliate WTVJ.
On February 16, 44-year-old Nathan fatally shot three casualties while acquiring his 4-year-old daughter with Tamarack, prompting a statewide amber alert.

When the Broward County Sheriff’s Office responded to the house around 6am that morning, they found his wife’s father, 64-year-old David Posner, dead on the back patio. The mother of the child, Mary Jingles, 34, was found dead in a house across the street from Posner’s house.
WTVJ said his mother was trying to get help when another man, 36-year-old Andrew Ferrin, was fatally shot by answering the door.
Following the murder, officials seized more than a dozen guns and ammunition caches. WTVJ also reported that Nathan Gingles seized about 20 guns following the first domestic violence injunction last year. It was ultimately rejected in July 2024.
Newly released court records obtained by the outlet show that Nathan was to abandon his handgun a few months ago.

In January, a second temporary injunction was granted, and lawmakers were allegedly ordered by a judge to recheck the gun. The deputies didn’t get the gun.
A few days after the invitation and murder, Sheriff Gregory Tony was placed on paid leave as eight Broward County lawmakers did not arrest the ultimate murder suspect after finding a possible cause.
One of the agents, Raul Ortiz, reportedly never returned Mary’s phone in October after discovering the tracking device in the vehicle.
An hour after the missing child’s warning, deputies found Nathan at Walmart in North Lauderdale. The 4 year old felt safe.
