The bodies of a man and a woman were found slumped over in a vehicle on the top floor of a parking garage in Irvine on Sunday night.

A passerby made the discovery around 9:10 p.m. at the parking structure of an apartment complex on the 2100 block of Scholarship.

"They saw a subject slumped over in a car and called the police. When we arrived we found that there were actually two subjects in the vehicle and that they were deceased," said Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen.

Police said the victims,  27-year-old Keith Lawrence and his fiancée, 28-year-old Monica Quan, were found shot to death in Lawrence's car. The couple lived in the apartment complex.

The deaths are being investigated as a double-homicide, not a murder-suicide. Investigators said it appears the victims were shot inside the parking structure. But at this point, no residents have reported hearing any gun shots.
