CHICAGO — State Police believe a shooting that left two people dead in a car parked on the outbound Kennedy Expressway Sunday was a murder-suicide.

Around 4 a.m. Sunday morning, police saw a silver Chevrolet Tahoe stopped in one of the lanes of the northbound expressway near Armitage Avenue.

Inside they found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds in their heads, and a gun on the driver's side floorboard.

Police identified those killed as Eric L. Taylor, 43, of Beach Park, and Camille C. Cooley, 36, of Waukegan. 

A preliminary investigation suggests that Taylor, who was sitting in the driver's seat, shot Cooley, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, before turning the gun on himself, police said.

The investigation is still underway, police said.
