**Modesto, CA – October 24, 2024**

On October 24, 2024, at approximately 9:42 AM, the Stanislaus Regional 911 received a call for a security check at a residence on Citrus Drive in Modesto. The caller expressed concern that a female resident had not reported to work, which was out of character for her. A neighbor also noted that the woman had not been seen for several days.

Officers responded to the scene and, upon entering the home forcibly, they discovered a 17-year-old male with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Additionally, the female resident was found deceased with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was located near her.

At this time, there are no outstanding suspects in connection with this incident, and the names of the deceased are being withheld.

The investigation is ongoing. The Modesto Police Department encourages anyone with information related to this case to contact Crime Stoppers at 209-521-4636 or email Detective Lawrence at lawrencej@modestopd.com. Individuals reaching out to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
