The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office has released the names of individuals located dead on the scene of the homicide/suicide  in the 10200 block of Co Rd 100S. 

The deceased have been identified as Dianne Cook, 65, and Barri Cook, 61, both of Avon.  The Cooks had been legally divorced since 2019; however, they were known to continue living together within the same residence.  

The preliminary investigation indicates that there was some type of altercation in the home, and Dianne Cook was apparently shot multiple times by Barri Cook.  Barri Cook subsequently died from what appears to be a sel- inflicted gunshot wound.  

Hendricks County detectives along with the Hendricks County Coroner’s Office are continuing to investigate this incident.  

Hendricks County authorities are also asking for assistance from the community in identifying family members or legal next of kin for Barri Cook.  If you have any information that might help identify Barri Cook’s family or legal next of kin, you are asked to please contact the Hendricks County Coroner’s Office at (317) 718-2910.
