MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Mesa have released the names of two people found dead at an apartment complex in a murder-suicide.

Officers were called to the El Rancho del Arte Apartments about 1 a.m. Monday after getting reports of gunshots.

Police say a man and woman were pronounced dead at the scene while another woman was wounded and a baby was uninjured.



They say 24-year-old Tyler Ruiz died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound while 23-year-old Chelsey Anderson was fatally shot.

Police say the dead woman’s 35-year-old sister, Sharice Anderson, was shot and remained hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday.

The motive for the shooting remains under investigation.

Police say a 19-month-old boy found at the apartment after the shootings belonged to Ruiz and Chelsey Anderson.

The child has been released to family members.
