Two people were found dead inside a Fairfield apartment Friday in an apparent murder-suicide, officials said.
Police responded shortly before 10 a.m. to the 20 block of Merlin Drive for a report of people injured during an altercation, Fairfield Police Department officials said Tuesday in a news release.
Police arrived at the scene to find the bodies of 24-year-old Tatiana Maldonado and 33-year-old Goleman David Perez inside the apartment they shared.
Investigators later determined that Perez killed Maldonado before dying by suicide. Officials did not reveal the type of weapon used, only that the couple suffered wounds to the neck, and the Butler County Coroner’s Office ruled their deaths a murder-suicide.
