Officials have identified a man and a woman who were found dead in a bedroom of a southeast Atlanta home after a Sunday shooting.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday identified the two as Ronnie Cullins, 46, and Regina Allen, 45.

Just before noon the day before, authorities responded to a report of a person shot in the 100 block of Mt. Zion Road SE, Atlanta police said.

As officers and fire crews tried to breach the home’s front door, officers heard gunfire, Atlanta police said. Upon entering the residence, they found Cullins and Allen dead “from apparent gunshot wounds,” police said.

Authorities provided few details about the incident, which homicide detectives are investigating. Police also did not specify the relationship, if any, between the man and woman.

“The investigation remains highly active and ongoing at this time,” Atlanta police said in a statement.
