Russell Kot Killed Olga Greinert, Florita Stolyar, Anatoly Ioffe, and Yaroslav Blyudoy in Florida Shooting

Russell Kot Killed Olga Greinert, Florita Stolyar, Anatoly Ioffe, and Yaroslav Blyudoy in Florida Shooting Sarasota, FL — Authorities have identified the victims and suspected shooter in a deadly shooting incident that unfolded Tuesday afternoon in a gated Sarasota neighborhood, leaving four people dead and the suspect found dead inside the home, police confirmed.

According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a 911 call shortly after 12:30 p.m. in the Amberlea subdivision, where a man was found shot in the front yard. Despite life-saving efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Inside the residence, investigators discovered the bodies of four adults, all victims of gunshot wounds.

Authorities later identified the suspect as 51-year-old Russell Kot of Fort Lauderdale, who was also found dead inside the home from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The four victims killed in the Sarasota shooting have been named as:

• Olga Greinert, 49
• Florita Stolyar, 66
• Anatoly Ioffe, 61
• Yaroslav Blyudoy, 39

Officials say there is currently no established motive, and the investigation remains active as detectives continue gathering evidence and interviewing potential witnesses. Law enforcement added that Kot’s vehicle was captured on video entering the neighborhood just after 11 a.m., shortly before the shooting began.

The deadly Sarasota incident has also been linked to a double homicide in Fort Lauderdale earlier in the day, where police reported two additional victims whose deaths are believed to be connected to the same suspect. Authorities say preliminary information suggests personal relationships may factor into the sequence of events, but they have not yet released a definitive explanation.

Neighbors in the normally quiet gated community described shock and disbelief as law enforcement secured the scene and began their inquiry. Multiple specialized units, including forensics and investigations teams, remain on site as the sheriff’s office works to reconstruct the timeline and circumstances surrounding the shootings.

This is a developing story. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from law enforcement and official channels.
