CITY HEIGHTS - Investigators revealed more Monday after the murder-suicide that left two men dead in a City Heights apartment Friday.
Robert Paul Agnew (below), 41, shot 40-year-old Eric Schulthise (right) multiple times before shooting himself in the head, according to police and the county Medical Examiner's Office.
Officers checking on the welfare of Schulthise at the request of a concerned co-worker found the men's bodies in the victim's residence in the 3700 block of Wilson Avenue shortly before 4 p.m. Friday.
Robert "Bob" AgnewSchulthise hadn't shown up for work for several days, said SDPD homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert.
"The door was closed," described Lt. David Nisleit with the San DiegoPolice Department. "We could see inside that there were two dead males on the ground."
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 News. "And the cops saw me walking down the street and they started asking me some questions."
Agnew and Schulthise had dated for a time before one of them called off the relationship. Schulthise reportedly told a neighbor recently that he was being stalked by someone he had been seeing.
Neighbors report having seen the two men recently arguing in front of the building.
Schulthise worked at SeaWorld and was a go-go dancer at the North Park bar Bacchus House. Bob Agnew was a former Naval Academy instructor.
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."
