A man fatally shot two people before turning the gun on himself early Sunday morning when a domestic dispute in a North San Jose parking lot spiraled into a double murder-suicide, according to the San Jose Police Department.

All three people were pronounced dead at the scene after police were called about 1 a.m. to the 300 block of Crescent Village Circle, near River Oaks Park, San Jose police said.

A man and woman were involved in a domestic dispute when another person — who wasn’t originally a part of the argument — tried to intervene and was shot, according to a statement from police. The man then shot the woman before killing himself, police said.

None of their names has been released, pending notification of next of kin.

No other details have been released, and San Jose police are still trying to piece together the circumstances surrounding the killings.

The killings mark the 15th and 16th deaths investigated as homicides so far this year by the San Jose Police Department.
