The woman and her husband were both pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting in the 6300 block of Starview Drive, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputies who responded to a medical emergency call found the woman dead of at least one gunshot wound to the upper body. They then found the man inside the couple’s residence with a gunshot wound to his upper body, according to the news release.<\/span><\/p>\n

The preliminary investigation revealed the couple got into an argument before the shooting, said Lt. Rodney Moore of the Sheriff\u2019s Homicide Bureau.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the course of that altercation, the female attempted to leave and went to a next door neighbor\u2019s house. It appears that she was followed by her husband who was now armed with a firearm,\u201d Moore said. \u201cThe husband shot his wife at least once, killing her at the neighbor\u2019s house. The husband then returned to his own residence and shot himself at least once.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were no other individuals inside the residence at the time of this incident,\u201d Moore said. \u201cIt appears that the couple do have three juvenile children; however, they are with family members out of state so no other persons were injured.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The names of the woman and man were not immediately released.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE: The coroner’s office identified the deceased woman as 35-year-old Jamie\u00a0Matthews. The name of her husband, who was in his 30s, is still being withheld, pending\u00a0family notification.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE: The coroner’s office identified the husband\/gunman as 39-year-old Clyde Matthews.<\/strong><\/p>\n
