DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Two people were found dead after a shooting Monday night in Southeast Oak Cliff.

Dallas Police were called to the Estell Village apartment complex in 9500 block of Highland Hills Drive around 9:15 p.m.

When they arrived they found a man and woman deceased.

After a CBS 11 photographer arrived on scene, a small child was brought out from the apartment but police did not immediately confirm the child was inside at the time of the shootings.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene along with crime scene investigators and the Dallas County Medical Examiner.

The victims have been identified as Dwight Dellkirvin Ray, 37, and Chaunthina Dione Mills, 28.

A public records search shows Mr. Ray had a prior criminal history, including arrests for assault causing bodily injury and violating a protective order.

Police have not detailed a possible motive for the killings.

A police report said the victims both suffered gunshot wounds to the upper parts of their bodies.  One victim was found in the living room, the other outside the door in a breezeway.
