Two Dead Gay Men Found In San Diego, Murder-Suicide Investigation Underway
Two men are dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide in a San Diego, California apartment on Friday. San Diego police, conducting a welfare check at La Hacienda Apartments in the 3900 block of Wilson Avenue, found the two bodies around 4 p.m. "The door was closed," described Lt. David Nisleit with the San Diego Police Department. "We could see inside that there were two dead males on the ground."
A co-worker of one of the men had requested the welfare check after the person failed to show up at work.
Police say they also found a gun inside the apartment. It's not known how long the bodies lay there, but neighbor Steven Stuhler heard gunshots just the day before.
"I heard about 6 or 7 gunshots," Stuhler told San Diego 6. "And the cops saw me walking down the street and they started asking me some questions."
Police have not identified the men but the gay & lesbian news website GLTNN says they are Eric Schulthise (photo-left) and Bob Agnew (photo-below). Schulthise worked at SeaWorld and was a go-go dancer at the North Park bar Bacchus. Bob Agnew was a former Naval Academy instructor. The site claims the two men dated off and on.
Neighbors report having seen the two men recently arguing in front of the building.
The deaths have scared people living in this City Heights neighborhood. "It's shocking," one woman told us. "It's always been a good neighborhood."

Very sad While I did not "Know them" I had certainly met them and seen both men in the bars. Eric in particular was known for his dedication at Sea World where he was a senio Aquarist. A former BF (mine) worked there about the time Eric started.
There has been a disturbing rise in Domestic Violence in our gay community which all to often results in this type of violent end.
