A man and woman died Saturday in what Gwinnett County police said was an apparent murder-suicide.

According to Gwinnett police Sgt. Brian Doan, Raul Covarrubias, 34, killed Patricia Murray, 32, then killed himself.

Police have not said how the two died.

Doan said in a statement that Murray's father went to the home on Jordan Woods Drive near Lawrenceville to check on his daughter after not hearing from her.
