HENDERSON (KTNV) -- Henderson police are investigating the death of a 55-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman Thursday afternoon as an apparent murder-suicide.

The couple was found in the desert area near the intersection of East Larson Lane and Gilespie Street, south of Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway.

Around 2:50 p.m., a passerby noticed the man on the ground next to a silver Chevrolet Cruz and attempted to get a response from him to check if he needed help. After failing to get a response, he notified police. As emergency personnel arrived, they determined the man was deceased and located a deceased woman nearby.

The man and woman had apparent gunshot wounds.

The names of the couple will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Officer pending next of kin notification.
