Two people are dead in what Westland, Michigan, police are investigating as a murder-suicide, officials said Sunday.

Officers responded to the 7700 block of Drew Circle around 9 p.m. Saturday, in the area of the Woodland Villa Apartments, after hearing reports of shots fired. They found a male and a female dead from gunshot wounds, according to police. 

Officials said this was not a random incident and the two people had previously been in a relationship. 

A vigil gathering took place over the weekend to honor the life of the 20-year-old woman, who was a studying at Schoolcraft College and working two jobs.
