The subject in the fatal encounter was identified as her son-in-law Steven Kasimow, 52, who was later also determined to be deceased, police said. He and his vehicle were located in Hollywood, following which police officers from the city discovered “that he sustained an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

Authorities characterized the investigation as “a domestic-related murder/suicide.” The pair was in the midst of handling family problems which resulted in Kasimow allegedly “producing a firearm and firing the fatal shots,” police said.
