Gabrielle Forman Murder-Suicide, Cohoes NY: Husband and Wife Dead

The Cohoes, New York, community is mourning the deaths of Gabrielle Forman, 30, and her husband, Jadet Forman, 37, after police confirmed that the couple died in a murder-suicide at their apartment in the Lofts at Harmony Mills.

According to Cohoes police, an autopsy completed Wednesday, August 19, determined that Jadet Forman shot and killed Gabrielle before turning the firearm on himself.

Gabrielle Forman Remembered

Gabrielle Forman was found deceased alongside her husband at the couple’s apartment on North Mohawk Street in Cohoes. Police said the couple had lived at the Harmony Mills complex since 2022.

The investigation began Tuesday, August 18, after Gabrielle’s mother, who lives in Georgia, became concerned when a phone call with her daughter was interrupted during an argument. Gabrielle’s brother subsequently went to check on the couple and reported hearing gunshots before contacting police.

Authorities later entered the apartment and discovered both Gabrielle and Jadet deceased.

Cause of Death

Police said the autopsy established that Gabrielle died from a gunshot wound inflicted by her husband, while Jadet subsequently died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators said the weapon was an unregistered 9mm handgun described as a privately made firearm, commonly referred to as a “ghost gun.”

Police said Jadet had no known criminal history, and authorities had not received previous domestic-disturbance complaints involving the couple at their apartment. Investigators believe the incident stemmed from a domestic issue and said the couple may have been in the process of separating, although police had not confirmed whether divorce paperwork had been filed.

Cohoes Community Mourns

The deaths have left residents and the broader Cohoes community shaken. The incident also resulted in a significant police response at Harmony Mills, with portions of North Mohawk Street closed and residents temporarily unable to access parts of the complex while investigators secured the scene.

Authorities have emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing, although the autopsy findings have established the manner in which the couple died.
