Authorities are investigating the deaths of two individuals in what appears to be a murder-suicide. The incident began when a man was found with a fatal gunshot wound at a Reno casino. Later, a woman was discovered dead in her apartment in Yuba City.
On Sunday, officers went to an apartment on Stabler Lane in Yuba City, located just north of Butte House Road, after receiving a request from Reno police. The Reno police had previously found the man with what seemed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They asked Yuba City officers to check on the woman at her apartment.
Upon arrival, the Yuba City officers found the woman dead in the apartment. The Yuba City Police Department has indicated that the case is being treated as a murder-suicide. The identities of the deceased are being withheld until their families are notified.
Police are still investigating the relationship between the two individuals and the exact circumstances of their deaths. Detectives believe there are no other suspects involved and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
