The couple, who lived in a “secluded, gated community” in the 6500 block of Glorietta Turn in the Northgate Forest subdivision, were apparently ambushed after pulling into their garage Thursday night at around 8:40 p.m.

“This may have happened any time after Thursday,” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said Saturday night. “It appears that was the last time of contact.”
