A man and woman were found dead in a Woodlawn apartment Sunday night in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide.
Officers went to 23-year-old Steven Griffin‘s home in the 6500 block of South Kimbark Avenue about 6:30 p.m. Sunday after a relative called police and requested a well-being check, authorities said.
When nobody answered a knock at the door, the officers forced their way inside, police said.
Police found 25-year-old Linda Soto, of the 3400 block of Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, dead on the floor after being shot multiple times, authorities said.
Griffin was lying nearby with a gunshot wound to his mouth, authorities said.
Monday autopsies ruled Soto’s death a homicide and Griffin’s death a suicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Area South detectives are investigating.
