Man dead, woman critically injured in domestic dispute, Oakley police say

OAKLEY, Calif. - A man was shot to death and a woman was shot and critically wounded Tuesday in Oakley after an apparent domestic dispute, police said.   

A woman who lives in the 1700 block of Pecan Court didn't show up for work and Oakley police were called. During a welfare check, police said no one answered her door, nor did they see anything suspicious inside.   

Less than an hour later, a neighbor who knew the occupants went to the house and saw two people inside and called police when they saw the woman appeared to be in distress.     

Officers arrived and entered the house, finding the man shot to death and a woman shot and badly injured.

Police aren't releasing the name of the man who died until his next of kin are notified.
