A brother and sister were found shot to death in Cabazon on Sunday in an apparent murder-suicide, officials said.
Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the 1500 block of Elm Street at 4:40 p.m., where they found a dead woman in a vehicle.
The woman, identified as Rose V. Fidler, 36, appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound, according to a statement from the sheriff’s department.
Deputies were still securing the crime scene when they were called to a second shooting a few blocks away at the 5200 block of Riza Avenue, the department said.
Officials there found 40-year-old Leonard Gamez dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and identified him as a suspect.
Police say there were no other suspects in the shooting.
“Investigators have determined that both incidents are related based on witness statements and evidence located at both scenes,” the statement said.
Fidler and Gamez were identified as siblings, but officials did not disclose what prompted the fatal shootings.
