Phoenix Sergeant Steve Martos confirms to New Times that the deaths of two people found in a Phoenix home last night is suspected to be a case of murder/suicide.
Martos says it appears Dylan Bell fatally shot 24-year-old Marilyn Guerra before turning the gun on himself.
When the bodies were found, Guerra’s 10-month-old daughter was sitting next to her mother crying.
Phoenix police say officers responded to a call to a home in the 7900 block of West Highland Avenue about 6 p.m. yesterday. The caller, Guerra’s 60-year-old mother, told police she went to her daughter’s home and found the two bodies.
