HOUSTON — Houston police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide in west Houston.
The bodies of a man and woman, both 34, were found early Monday during a welfare check.
Family members and friends asked the Houston Police Department to check on the couple because they hadn't heard from them since early Sunday.
They were found dead inside their apartment on Jamestown Mall Street near Westheimer around 1 a.m.
Both died from gunshot wounds. The preliminary investigation indicates the male shot his common-law wife and then himself.
Their names haven't been released.
