A woman and man died last Thursday evening in an apparent murder-suicide, according to the Las Vegas police.

Jiyeon Lee, 23, and Won Jae Lee, 26, were identified by the Clark County coroner’s office. They were found dead together in their home after a friend came by after not hearing from one of the victims in three days. Officers responded around 5 p.m. to 8900 block of Veneroso Street to investigate.

“It was a shock to pull up to the house and the whole neighborhood was quarantined,” said neighbor Damion Grau. “Nothing like this happens in this neighborhood.”

Police said that the two victims were dating, and it appeared a physical altercation had preceded the shooting in the home’s garage, according to the evidence found inside the home. They believe the woman shot the man in the head and neck before shooting herself in the head.
