TYLER, Texas (AP) - Tyler police say gunfire blamed on a tenant killed a landlord at a residence and the renter died later from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officer Don Martin says the suspect, 47-year-old Alice Aguilar, died Wednesday at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler.

Police on Tuesday afternoon received a call of shots fired at a multi-apartment residence and discovered the body of 70-year-old Socorro Nunez in one unit.

Martin says Aguilar was found unconscious, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, in another unit.

Police are investigating what led to the shootings and whether financial problems were involved.
