ORIGINAL:
Authorities said they are investigating a murder-suicide after finding two people dead inside a North Side apartment complex.
Officers conducted a welfare check around 9 a.m. Sunday in the 7900 block of Jones Maltsberger Road. Officials believed a male suspect was there, but he was not.
Police later determined the suspect was at an apartment complex in the 1800 block of East Sonterra Boulevard.
Officers knocked on the door of an apartment unit they believed belonged to the suspect, but again, no one answered. A SWAT unit then responded to the scene for assistance.
After a few hours of trying to communicate with the suspect, officials entered the apartment and found both the suspect and a woman dead, SAPD said.
Officials believe the suspect killed the woman and then took his own life. The cause of their deaths is still being investigated.
SAPD said the suspect was around 30 years old, and the woman was in her late 20s. Police are still determining their relationship.
