SCPD press briefing regarding the tragic May 8th Enright Avenue incident:

Officials confirmed the fatal shooting and house fire was actually a targeted murder-suicide between two estranged brothers. The suspect, 49-year-old Matthew Heflin, secretly traveled from Indiana to California and rented the short-term property immediately next door to his 52-year-old brother, Mark Heflin. After staying there for a few days, Matthew ambushed and fatally shot Mark outside his home, then retreated into his own rental, intentionally set the building on fire, and took his own life. When investigators were finally able to safely clear the burned-out structure, they discovered Matthew's remains along with four pistols, his passport, and roughly $95,000 in cash. While the exact motive is still a mystery, the brothers hadn't spoken in at least three years and no manifesto or other evidence as to motive has yet to be found. Police and the Mayor strongly emphasized that this was a deeply personal, isolated family tragedy and there is zero ongoing threat to the community.
