A Jehovah Witness' family of four was found dead Wednesday in their South Carolina home in an alleged murder-suicide at the suspected hands of the devout husband and father.

The bodies of Sheddrick Byron Miller, 38, and his wife Kia Von Miller, 28, were discovered in their Riverwalk home with their two young children, Kyler, 3, and Syrai, 1, after the devout Jehovah Witness' mother hadn't heard from the family for a few days, a local news outlet reported.

"I'm sick to my stomach," Tammy Doctor, who runs a beauty shop next door to Miller's barber shop said in an interview. "He never showed one sign. I can't see it."

The Richland County Coroner identified the bodies Thursday and reported that each died from a gunshot wound to the head.

The weapon allegedly used by the devout Jehovah Witness father was found closest to Sheddrick Miller's body, indicating he was the last to use it.

On the family's Facebook page, Sheddrick Miller paints what seemed to be a happy life full of love for his wife and two children, which he often refers to as royalty.

In one photo he posted on Facebook, he shares an image of himself posing with his family in front of their two-story home, behind a bright red front door, with the caption: "Work like a slave live like a king!"

In another photo uploaded November 2013, it shows Sheddrick Miller giving his wife a kiss, captioning it, "I can honestly say I'll die for you !!!!!!!"

Doctor, who has known the Millers for years, described him as "a religious man" who loved his children. She added that Kia Miller was a stay-at-home mom.

One of the devout Jehovah Witness' neighbors told a local media outlet that the Millers often hosted Bilble studies at their home.

According to a study conducted by the Violence Policy Center in 2013, South Carolina ranks first in America in terms of number of women killed by men.
Nationwide "nine women each week are shot to death by their husband or intimate partner," said Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America founder Shannon Watts in their report.

"That's nearly 500 domestic gun violence deaths each year - more than twice the number of servicewomen killed in military conflicts since the Korean War. We urgently need better policies that protect women and their families from this senseless violence. No American, adult or child, should live in a perpetual state of fear. It's inhumane."
