Boulder City police are investigating what they believe is a murder-suicide in Marina Highland Estates.

A woman and an elderly man believed to be her father were found shot to death in a home on Judi Place about 9:40 a.m. Sunday, police said. Their names were not being released until family members could be notified, Sgt. Vince Albowicz said.

A caregiver called police when she arrived at the house and found the woman lying on the ground with a gun in her hand. The caregiver told police she tried to revive the woman, but she was "cold," according to police reports.

The man was found dead by police, and reports state he was shot first.

A neighbor heard one gunshot between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., according to police reports.

Other neighbors Monday afternoon said the man and his daughter moved in about a year ago and were always pleasant.

The man was in a wheelchair, and a nurse came by daily to assist him.
