Corpus Christi Police are conducting a death investigation of two people at an apartment located at 6301 Meadowvista Drive Sunday night as a murder/suicide.
Corpus Christi Police responded to a call of a disturbance at 11:42pm Sunday night and found a 28-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man dead in an apartment. The Officers found a 9-year-old boy who called in the disturbance and a 6-year-old child which were not physically harmed. The Officers believe the two deceased people were the parents of the two children. Officers worked with the Child’s Advocacy Center to locate other family members to care for the two children.

The Corpus Christi Police Department will begin to conduct a Summer Crime Initiative for the 4th consecutive year this Sunday.

In addition to officers from the CCPD we will work in conjunction with other law enforcement partners from our area.
The Summer Crime Initiative will run from June 21st through the Labor Day weekend. Traditionally, during this time frame, most school districts are out for the summer which has the potential to lead to a rise in juvenile crime, traffic related issues, and gang issues. The police department will work to combat any rise in crimes against persons and crimes against property. The listed units will conduct on-going operations that will target the following areas of concern:
Juvenile crimes to include curfew violations
Burglaries to include auto and home
Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle

Our department does have strategies it has implemented to address these crimes but we also ask that citizens do their part in protecting themselves.
