CHICAGO — A Roseland man killed a woman and shot her relative before killing himself Sunday night, authorities said.

The incident, which was described as a domestic dispute, occurred in the 400 block of West 104th Street around 9:55 p.m., said Officer Ana Pacheco, a police spokeswoman.

Police found the man, 37, and the woman, 29, dead upon arrival. Another woman, 26, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where she is in critical condition, Pacheco said.

The two women are related, Pacheco said.

The 37-year-old man was identified as James Sterling, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. Officials there said Sterling, who lived in the home where the shooting happened, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.

The 29-year-old woman who died was identified as Amy Holmes-Sterling, of the 300 block of East 53rd Street. Holmes-Sterling's death was ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner's office.
