Police believe a man critically wounded his roommate and then shot himself to death at the residential unit the two shared in Pasadena, authorities said July 1.
Officers dispatched at about 1:50 p.m. on June 30 to a multi-unit residential complex in the 200 block of North Madison Avenue, regarding a “shots call” with a victim down, located a man outside a unit suffering from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Pasadena Police Department reported.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, Lt. Monica Cuellar said. The 35-year-old man was later identified as Creighton Chun Ming Wong. A firearm was recovered near Wong, police said.
“Officers conducted a welfare check in the adjacent residential unit and located a second adult male suffering from a gunshot wound,” Cuellar said. “That male was transported to a local hospital by Pasadena Fire Department paramedics in critical condition.”
Police said the men were roommates and that Wong apparently shot his roommate before taking his own life.
