May/September Murder/Suicide

"SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Scottsdale police say the deaths of a man and woman discovered shot dead outside the front door of a Scottsdale home were a result of a murder-suicide.

"Scottsdale police on Friday said Steven Lester, 60, shot his girlfriend, Vanessa Klein, 24, multiple times before turning the gun on himself.

"The bodies were found Thursday morning outside a Scottsdale home near Mountain View and Hayden roads.

"Police said Lester called Klein, his longtime girlfriend, sometime Wednesday night and asked her to come to his home. When Klein arrived, Lester confronted her at the door and shot her multiple times, then shot himself, police said. Investigators found a handgun belonging to Lester near his body.

"The bodies were found Thursday morning by woman who stopped at the McCormick Ranch home, on the 8000 block of East Del Trigo, around 10:30 a.m., said Sgt. Mark Clark, a Scottsdale police spokesman.

"The woman was there to interview for a personal assistant position and did not know either victim. A neighbor called 911 Wednesday night to report gunshots, but when police arrived, they were unable to locate the source of the shots.

"Police do not believe there are any outstanding suspects, Clark said."
