Authorities are investigating a possible murder-suicide in Huntington Beach after a man and woman were found dead with gunshot wounds on March 26, police said.

Huntington Beach police responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call around 6 p.m. at the 9500 block of Kensington Drive around 6 p.m. in the city’s northeast.

A man was found dead at the scene, and the woman was rushed to a nearby trauma center where she later died from her injuries, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department.

Police spokeswoman Jessica Cuchilla told The Epoch Times the woman lived at the home where the incident occurred, but the man did not. The man was not a resident of that neighborhood either.

The two knew each other, but to what extent is unknown, Chuchilla said.

Their identities were withheld until their loved ones could be notified, she said.

One resident living near the shooting told the Los Angeles Times the deceased woman was a lifetime resident and victim in the killing, with two middle school-aged sons that are currently being looked after by neighbors.

The resident also said the woman worked as an artist and occasionally picked up seasonal jobs for extra income.

There is no threat to the public, police said, and anyone with information should call the Huntington Beach WeTip Hotline at (714) 375-5066 or call OC Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips at (855) TIP-OCCS (855-847-6227).
