More Than A Walk In The Park

"LONG BEACH, CA - A man was found dead in Long Beach's El Dorado Park Sunday of an apparent self-inflected gunshot wound, and a woman who apparently was the victim of a homicide was found dead several hours later at a house apparently connected to the man, police said today.

"The man was found under a tree near the corner of Willow Street and Studebaker Road at about 4 p.m. Sunday, Long Beach police Lt. Paul LeBaron said. He appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.

"The police investigation led to a house in the 1900 block of Lees Avenue, which was believed to be a location for the man's next of kin, LeBaron said.

"Officers were unable to contact anyone there, and they forced entry about 10 p.m. Sunday and found the body of a woman `who appeared to be the victim of a homicide,` LeBaron said. The cause of her death was not immediately known.

"Authorities withheld the names of the dead. A relationship between the pair was not immediately known."
