A 36-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman were found with fatal gunshot wounds to their heads inside a home in the 2000-block of South Indiana Avenue, police said. Police said they were found some time between 2 p.m. on Sunday and 3 p.m. Monday.

The woman was identified as Leticia Zaragoza. Her brother immediately came to the South Loop apartment looking for answers when he found out she was dead.

"Just to find out what really happened, if anybody's responsible, to catch them," said brother Tony Garcia.

The medical examiner has not yet identified the male victim, but Zaragoza's brother said he was her boyfriend, and that they lived in the apartment together.

"She's a beautiful person. Very loved. She didn't deserve what happened to her. Nobody does," Garcia said.

Area detectives are investigating. Police did not immediately provide further information about the shooting.
