Homicide Unit detectives have identified the victim and suspect involved in Monday afternoon’s apparent murder-suicide in an apartment on Glengarry Drive as Merlin Nataren, 35, and her boyfriend, Jovanni Antonio Machado Portillo, 27.
Nataren’s family had not had contact with her since late Sunday night and upon arrival at Portillo’s apartment, discovered them fatally shot in the bedroom. Nataren was shot multiple times.
Portillo died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was recovered from under Portillo’s hand.
The two did not have any reported history of domestic violence.
