North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) - Family members couldn't contain their anguish at the scene of an apparent murder - suicide in North Las Vegas. Police discovered the bodies of a male and female, both identified by authorities as in their 30's, on Monday afternoon in the 300 block of Copper Pine Avenue. That's near 5th Street and El Campo Grande Avenue.
Police received a 911 call from the home at 1:19pm about an argument at the house. When police arrived at the home they knocked on the door and nobody answered. Police then left.
At 2:06pm police received another 911 call from the home about a fight in progress. Shots were reportedly fired during the call. When officers arrived, they went into the home and found two people dead.
Family members identify the two as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"We know he shot her then turned around and shot himself," said Patricia Reeves, aunt of the woman killed. "Jealousy. He loved her so much that I guess he killed her."
Patricia Reeves identifies her niece as a mother of three. She says two children were inside the home as this violence was unraveling.
"I'd advise any woman that's out there, leave those jealous mans alone," Reeves went on to say.
Several relatives broke down at the scene and were treated by arriving ambulances for emotional distress.
It's unclear who placed both 911 calls from inside the home. Police also say a third 911 call was made from outside the home.
While it's confirmed that shots were fired in this dispute, police will not say what injuries led to these two deaths.
Autopsy results are pending from the Clark County Coroner's Office.
