SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of two people at a Nestor-area apartment complex, San Diego Police said.
At around 11 a.m. Friday, SDPD officers were called to the 2300 block of Grove Avenue regarding a report of two people deceased in an apartment unit.
Responding officers arrived and discovered a man and woman dead from an "apparent gun shot wound," the department said. Authorities did locate a firearm inside the apartment.
Witnesses tell police they heard gunshots from inside of the apartment. Shortly after that, one of the man's family members walked inside the apartment found the two bodies and called the police.
"Based on the initial observations of the officers at the scene, it appears the most likely scenario is that the male shot the female, and then shot himself," SDPD said in a press release.
Authorities have identified the 20-year-old Hispanic man, but are not immediately releasing his name. He lives at the apartment where his body was found, according to SDPD.
The Hispanic woman has not yet been identified, but SDPD believes she is about 18-years-old.
Detectives say they are interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence to figure out what led up to the shooting.
"There is no one else outstanding as no one else appears to have been involved in this incident," said SDPD.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
