(AP) -- COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Richland County deputies say two people found dead in a car outside a Columbia gas station appear to be part of a murder-suicide.

Investigators say witnesses called police Friday night after seeing a woman shoot a man in the car, then turn the gun on herself.

The coroner's office identified the victims as Alysha Violkowski, 31, and Oppie Lee Jackson, 33.

Authorities say a witness told investigators the couple were involved in a romantic relationship.
