In a grim discovery, Santa Rosa Police found the bodies of a woman and her young son in their apartment on Summerfield Road, authorities reported. The Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) received a distressing call early Wednesday morning, leading officers to the home where they found the pair unresponsive. Despite the swift arrival of medical teams, both the mother and the juvenile, believed to be around 10 years old, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The case, now in the hands of the SRPD Violent Crimes Investigations Team and Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Team, has begun to unravel the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Detectives were dispatched to investigate, following department protocol that assigns unexplained adult deaths to SRPD VCI, and those of juveniles to SRPD DVSA. Investigators are currently working to piece together the events that led to this tragedy.

While the community reels from the news, SRPD has assured the public that there appears to be no ongoing threat. Autopsies scheduled for later this week are expected to shed light on the causes of death. The authorities have chosen not to release the names of the deceased at this juncture, to respect the integrity of the investigation and the privacy of the family.

Further details remain scarce as detectives continue to thoroughly examine the incident. The official statement released by the SRPD promises that more information will be made available to the public as the investigation progresses. The case, bearing the number 24-2731, has shaken the local community and the story will be closely followed for updates.
