Eric and Vicki Cordes, both in their 60s, were shot and killed in their garage in Simi Valley around noon after witnesses saw an unidentified gunman open fire. A black Honda Civic was observed fleeing the scene. Between 2:30 and 3 p.m., the vehicle was located in Chino fully engulfed, with a badly burned man found nearby; that incident is being investigated as a suspected suicide. Investigators linked the vehicle to the Simi Valley double homicide, recovered a handgun near the burning car for ballistics testing, and have not released a suspect, motive, or identification of the burned man.
""At that time, a black Honda Civic was seen fleeing the area," Morton told The Times."
""Between 2:30 and 3 p.m, we were able to determine that the vehicle was in the Chino area found fully engulfed with a subject near it also burned.""
""I don't know at this time what caliber it was," Morton said, "and I don't know if that handgun is related to our crime scene until further investigation is completed.""
