"There was a shell casing found at the crime scene, however, it is unknown whether or not it was related to this incident," Lieutenant Glenn Giannantonio said in a press release.
He added that the investigation is still in its preliminary stages and all the information at this point still needs to be verified by detectives.

Krajnak had apparently filed a restraining order against a Marine in 2010 on domestic violence allegations, according to NBC San Diego. That agency says Krajnak claimed to have been hit, choked and kicked by the man-- but later vacated the order.
