Full Notification

On March 26, 2015, at approximately 6:50 P.M., the Davis Police Department received a 911 call from a male requesting an ambulance and police respond to a residence on Glacier Dr. because a male and a female were in the house, had been shot, and both were deceased. Dispatchers attempted to gain further information from the caller, however, he refused to answer questions and abruptly disconnected the call.

Officers responded and surrounded the house because they believed there may have been an armed suspect still in the residence. After making numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact anyone in the house, the SWAT team responded in order to facilitate safe entry.

Entry was made several hours later and officers found a deceased male and a deceased female. Both died from gunshot wounds.

Davis Police Investigators took over the investigation and determined that the deceased are 27 year old Whitney Engler and 23 year old Joseph Hein. Both live in Davis.

Although it is early in the investigation, preliminary evidence suggests this was a murder-suicide. Therefore, investigators do not believe there is anyone else involved, and are not actively seeking any suspects at this time.
