Two people were found dead in the home, and the suspect was found at the scene.

The suspect was identified as Nolan Pascal Pillay, 37, according to Kim Mohr of the Irvine Police Department. He was booked on suspicion of murder.

The victims and Pillay are related, but Mohr declined to elaborate. Police characterized the killings as a “domestic violence case,” she said.

Police believe the victims lived at the home.

A witness told ABC7 a person could be heard yelling “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” around the time of the killings.
