In the quiet expanse of Riverside County, tragedy struck as two lives ended too soon in an apparent murder-suicide. Riverside Sheriff’s deputies discovered the bodies of a Glendale couple, Matthew Haze, 54, and Naomi Haneji-Haze, 53, in a vehicle near Lake Mathews on Sunday morning. A statement released by the Sheriff's Department indicated that the initial call came from the Glendale Police Department, who had been alerted to a dire suicide threat by the pair, potentially placing them at Cajalco Road and La Sierra Avenue.

The news came to light after deputies swiftly mustered to thoroughly, yet delicately, scour the area based on the information provided. They were met with a grim scene: two individuals whose lives had been emphatically cut short within the confines of their own vehicle. As specified in the Riverside Sheriff's Office statement, at the heart-breaking point of 9:27 a.m., the cruel outcome of the situation became apparent.

While the investigation is in its infancy, Sergeant Jarred Bishop, the Reporting Deputy, affirmed the deaths, unveiling the identities of those involved. The community of Glendale, from whence the couple hailed, now has to grapple with the void left by their absence, adding two more faces to the myriad of those taken by personal tragedy.

The Riverside Sheriff's Office reached out to anyone who might shed light on this calamity to come forward, extending channels for confidential dialogue. Should members of the public possess insights pertinent to this investigation, they are implored to contact Investigator N. Jones of the Central Homicide Unit or Investigator J. Negrete of the Lake Mathew’s Sheriff’s Station.
