Authorities are still searching for leads in the crime, which police do not believe was a murder-suicide, or motivated by robbery.

Investigators have said little about the crime or any possible suspects.

The two were engaged in January and had recently moved into an upscale condominium complex near UC Irvine and Concordia University, where both were basketball stars, family members said.

Anyone with information is asked to call (949) 724-7192.
