Coroner ID's couple in murder-suicide
LAS VEGAS -- An incident, in which two people were found dead at a home near S. Fort Apache and W. Pebble Road Thursday, is being called a murder-suicide by Metro Police.
Officers said when their detectives arrived on the scene in the 8900 block of Veneroso Street, medical personnel told them two adults, a male and a female were found dead inside of the garage.
The Clark County Coroner's Office has identified the man as 26-year-old Won Jae Lee of Las Vegas. He died from gunshot wounds to the head and neck. The woman was identified as 23-year-old Jiyeon Lee who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The preliminary investigation indicates the man and woman, who were dating, were in a physical altercation before the shooting. The argument between the two somehow moved to the garage, and that's where officers said the woman shot and killed the man before taking her own life.
