IRVINE – Two people who were found fatally shot inside a parked car Sunday night have been identified as a couple in their 20s, police officials said Monday.
Keith Lawrence, 27, and his fiancée, Monica Quan, 28, were discovered in the car on the top floor of a parking structure at 2100 Scholarship.
They were found at about 9:10 p.m. after officers received a call of someone slumped over in the car.
Lawrence was found in the driver seat while Quan was in the front passenger seat, said Lt. Julia Engen of the Irvine Police Department. Few other details have been released.
The couple had recently moved to the complex, Engen said.
"It doesn't appear they were robbed," Engen added. "There's no obvious motive."
Investigators are also trying to determine when the shooting occurred. When an officer arrived at the parking structure, it was obvious that Lawrence and Quan had been dead for some time, officials said.
The shooting appears to have taken place where the two where found.
The vehicle belonged to Lawrence, authorities said.
No arrests had been made as of Monday morning.
Lawrence and Quan were graduates of Concordia University, and Quan worked for Cal State Fullerton, Engen said.
The couple shared a love of basketball and both played for Concordia teams during their time as students.
Keith Lawrence attended Concordia 2006-2008, after studying at Moorpark College. He played on the Concordia basketball team during the 2007-08 season, traveling to the 2007 NAIA National Championship and earning a place on the all-tournament team.
Lawrence had worked since August as an armed public-safety officer at USC, after graduating from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Academy. He was assigned to patrol at USC, Capt. David Carlisle said.
