Tragedy struck a west Phoenix neighborhood this week when two individuals were found dead in a home near 83rd Avenue and Broadway Road. FOX 10 Phoenix reported the discovery of a man and a woman yesterday, whose names were initially withheld as the incident was investigated.

Daisy Ruiz, 41, was identified as one of the deceased, according to additional details provided by ABC15 Arizona. Officials suggested that the man, whose identity remains unreleased, shot Ruiz before committing suicide. The deceased were found after relatives, concerned by Ruiz's absence, arrived at the home and stumbled upon the harrowing scene.

Phoenix Police initially responded to an unknown trouble call around 8 a.m. on the day of the incident. Details surrounding the circumstances of the deaths were sparse, with very limited information released to the public.

No additional information was provided on the investigation, as it remains ongoing. Phoenix law enforcement is faced with piecing together the details of what transpired inside the home on that fateful morning.
