SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Police are investigating after two people were found dead in a Del Cerro home Wednesday.
According to the San Diego Police Department, officers responded to an apartment complex on the 5700 block of College Avenue Tuesday after receiving reports of gunshots in the area. "Officers checked the area and found nothing suspicious," police said.
Thursday, officers returned to the complex to conduct a welfare check at a specific unit after a relative called and asked police to check on a family member who missed a shift at work.
"After gathering more information at the scene, officers forced entry into the unit. Inside, they found a 47-year-old woman dead," police said.
After searching the rest of the home, officers discovered a 40-year-old man also dead in a bedroom of the apartment.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner is working to determine the cause of death for both individuals. The names of those found dead are being withheld pending family notification.
Anyone with information is asked to call Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
