San Diego Police Investigate City Heights Deaths as a Murder-suicide

 -

Police said someone asked officers to do a welfare check on a co-worker about 3:40 p.m. because he had not shown up to work in a few days, which was unlike him. The caller also told police that the co-worker was going through a domestic breakup.

About 20 minutes later, officers found two bodies in a first-floor unit of the two-story condominium building on Wilson Avenue near Wightman Street. A gun was found in the apartment, police said.  Some neighbors heard gunshots two nights ago. A neighbor reported that his next-door neighbor, a man in his mid-30s, had confided in him that he was being stalked by someone he had been seeing.

The neighbor had heard a rapid succession of about six gunshots, which was then followed by a single shot.  He called 911, but that in the two hours or so he remained awake afterward he did not see or hear any police.  There is no available report indicating that officers in fact were dispatched to the scene, that remained undiscovered for the following two days.

We do not have any reports as to the identity of the deceased victims, nor confirmation that this was a murder suicide. Report picked up from  Leslie Berestein, a  UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER and  Kristina Davis, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER  published in  Signon, San Diego News.
