Authorities have identified the shooter in an apparent murder-suicide at a Far East Dallas home this past weekend.
Police say James Michael Newby, 40, shot a 43-year-old woman about 7 p.m. Saturday in the home they shared in the 10500 block of Ferguson Road. He then turned the gun on himself.
The woman's name was withheld because her family had not yet been notified.
On Monday, pumpkins painted with the couple's names still decorated the front porch of their home.
Neighbors said it was hard to imagine that the quiet couple could be the victims of a murder-suicide. They appeared happy, residents said, and never caused a ruckus.
"I've never seen them fight," said Paulo Solez, who lives two houses down.
Neighbors also said the two were quiet and preferred to keep to themselves.
"They were always riding their motorcycle together," Solez said. "It's a sad, sad thing."
