NEW ORLEANS — Police are investigating as a suspected murder-suicide, authorities said Monday.

Officers with the NOPD responded to a home in the 7200 block of Cannonbury Drive Saturday and found a 26-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man with gunshot wounds. Paramedics responded and pronounced both individuals dead at the scene.

Investigators said preliminary findings indicate the man fatally shot the woman before taking his own life.

The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will release the victims’ identities and official cause of deaths after notifying their families.
