Irvine Double Homicide Suspect In Custody: Police

IRVINE, CA — A shooting on Tuesday in Irvine led to the arrest of one Irvine man according to police.

The Irvine Police Department and the Orange County Fire Authority responded Tuesday to a report of a shooting on Crystal Circle in Irvine.

"Upon arrival, officers discovered two deceased victims," Irvine Police said in a statement. "The suspect, Nolan Pascal Pillay, 37, was taken into custody at the scene without incident. No other suspects are at large, and there is no danger to the community."

Irvine Police believe this to be a family violence incident, in which the adult victims and the suspect were related. However, the victims in this case are not being named at this time, pending identification by the Coroner’s Office, they said.

"Officers responded to the scene Tuesday around 1 p.m. Due to the location’s proximity to Greentree Elementary, the school was placed on a brief lockdown out of an abundance of caution," Irvine Police said. "School proceeded as normal, and the lockdown was lifted before parents arrived for afternoon pickup."

A witness told ABC7 that a person could be heard yelling "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" around the time of the killings.

The investigation into this case is ongoing.
