Upon arrival, officers located an adult male outside a residential unit, suffering from a gunshot wound. The wound appeared self-inflicted, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officers conducted a welfare check in the adjacent residential unit and located a second adult male suffering from a gunshot wound. That male was transported to a local hospital by Pasadena Fire Department Paramedics in critical condition.
The deceased male was identified as 35-year-old Creighton Chun Ming Wong, a Pasadena resident.
Detectives from the Pasadena Police Department’s Robbery / Homicide Unit responded to the crime scene to commence immediate follow-up investigation. The investigation revealed the men were roommates and that Wong had shot his roommate before taking his own life moments later. A firearm was recovered near Wong.
The motive for the shooting-suicide is still under investigation.
