Detectives have confirmed that the shooting deaths of two people last week in a Sugar Land-area home were the result of a murder-suicide, the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said.
According to preliminary findings from autopsies performed by the Galveston County Medical Examiner's Office, Jim Phillips, 46, of Houston, shot his 47-year-old girlfriend, Paula Simpson, and then turned the gun on himself, sheriff's office spokesman Bob Haenel said Tuesday.
The couple's bodies were found Thursday night in a bathroom of Simpson's home in the 2000 block of Cordelia Place in the Greatwood subdivision, authorities said.
Deputies were called to the two-story house about 10:40 p.m. Thursday by friends of Simpson who had gone there because they hadn't heard from her, Haenel said.
The estimated time of the shootings has not been released.
