Overview
- Officers who entered the 4600 block of Jefferson Court around 7:16 p.m. Wednesday found two decomposing bodies after a neighbor reported being unable to contact the occupants for several days.
- The victims were identified as homeowner Shelly Wang, 64, and tenant Evgeniy Ilin, 39, with police saying Wang had multiple apparent gunshot wounds and Ilin had a single wound and a handgun was found beside him.
- Investigators reported multiple shell casings near Wang and described the scene as indicating a possible murder-suicide, but they stressed the motive is unknown and forensic confirmation is pending.
- An autopsy had not yet been completed and the Pleasanton Police Department said the incident appears isolated with no ongoing threat to the public; officials asked anyone with information to call 925-931-5100.
- The discovery has raised local concern because the bodies were decomposed, which could slow forensic work and means investigators will now rely on autopsy results, ballistic analysis and public tips to clarify what happened.
