Surprise police ID 2 men killed in suspected murder-suicide

Posted

Police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide that occurred early Monday morning near West Bell Road and State Route 303.

Daniel Roman, 43, was found by police with multiple gunshot wounds, and Lucas Izzo had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to a release from the Surprise Police Department.

Witnesses and officers attempted life-saving measures, but both men died at the scene.

Investigators discovered that Roman was dating Izzo’s ex-wife, police said. 

“Izzo, without provocation, fired multiple rounds, striking Roman, before turning the gun on himself,” the release stated.

No one else was injured.

Police urge anyone struggling with thoughts of harming themselves or others to call 988, a suicide and crisis lifeline that provides free and confidential emotional support to anyone in a mental health crisis.
