Two people died in an apparent murder-suicide at a home in Long Beach today, authorities said. At around 3:30PM Thursday, officers responded to the 5800 block of Rose Ave. to respond to an unknown trouble call. 

Arriving officers found two deceased individuals, prompting an investigation by homicide detectives, said Marlene Arrona of the Long Beach Police Department. Late Thursday night, detectives and forensics teams were still on site. 

No description of the victims nor details on how the two died were released by police, but Lt. Joe Bale of the Los Angeles County coroner’s office said the deceased were a male whose death was reported as a suicide and a female whose death was reported as a homicide.

We will update this story with more information as it becomes available.
