Pleasanton police investigate suspected murder-suicide

Pleasanton police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after two people were found dead in a residence on Jefferson Court. Officers arrived at the home on Wednesday evening following a welfare check request from a neighbor who had been unable to contact the occupants for several days.

Authorities identified the deceased as 64-year-old homeowner Shelly Wang and 39-year-old tenant Evgeniy Ilin. Wang was found with multiple gunshot wounds, while Ilin was discovered in a separate room with what appeared to be a single gunshot wound. A handgun was located near Ilin.

Due to the condition of the bodies, investigators believe both individuals had been deceased for several days. While the motive remains unknown, police stated that the incident appears to be isolated and poses no ongoing threat to public safety.
