Slow Moving Investigation Finally Declares Murder/Suicide

"Casa Grande, AZ - The death of a man and woman earlier this week has been ruled a murder-suicide, according to Kent Horn, Casa Grande police Criminal Investigations commander.

"After an investigation and autopsies by the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office, police determined that Vincent Sullivan, 53, shot Tammy Saldana, 46, multiple times, then killed himself with a single shot, Horn said.

"On Monday police were called to a home in the 1500 block of East Chaparral Place about a medical emergency.

"A niece of Saldana's told police she had been unable to contact her aunt for a couple of days. The niece had gone to the home, looked through a window and thought she saw two bodies on the floor.

"When police arrived they found the dead couple in the living room of the home with what appeared to be fatal gunshot injuries.

"Horn said family members had said the couple were engaged to be married.

"Saldana had been the owner of the Pita Pit restaurant, 1328 E. Florence Blvd."
