Red Bluff, CA: Red Bluff police: pair found dead inside residence may be murder-suicide

Red Bluff police said today a domestic violence murder-suicide may be the cause of two dead bodies officers found Wednesday morning.

At about 8:12 a.m. Wednesday officers responded to the 1,100 block of First Street in Red bluff to find the bodies of Doyal William Meeks, 52, and Migdalia Phillips, 42, said Sgt. Dan Flowerdew of the Red Bluff Police Department.

An autopsy at the Yolo County Coroner’s Office determined that Meeks and Phillips died from a single gunshot wound each.

Meeks and Phillips lived together at the First Street home and there were no witnesses to their deaths, Flowerdew said.

The California Department of Justice is investigating the case and more information may be released when that investigation is complete, Flowerdew said.
