Police ID Woman, Man Killed In Apparent Murder-Suicide In Aurora

AURORA, IL — Aurora police on Wednesday released the identities of two people who they say died in an apparent murder-suicide earlier this week.

Police believe Christian Coronel, 24, shot and killed Leesley Sandoval, 23, before killing himself at their apartment in the 1600 block of McClure Road, the Daily Herald reports.

Aurora police did a welfare check at the apartment around 4:30 p.m. Monday after a relative said they were unable to reach anyone there throughout the day. A landlord let officers into the apartment where they found Sandoval and Coronel dead from apparent gunshot wounds, police said Monday night.

A man in the area told officers he heard gunshots around 8:30 p.m. Sunday but did not report them to police.

The Kane County Coroner's Office is set to conduct autopsies Wednesday.
