Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The two men killed in a murder-suicide last Wednesday have been identified.

The Clark County Coroner's Office said 22-year-old Anthony Garcia fatally shot 25-year-old William Pearce before turning the gun on himself.

Police detectives said Garcia was the estranged husband of the woman. He came to the home on Sunland Avenue, near Rancho and Alta, and kicked in the door late Wednesday morning.

The woman escaped with three children before Garcia reportedly shot Pearce and himself.

Police were called to the scene, where they discovered the bodies inside.

Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
