Walnut Creek Police have arrested a 43-year-old man, Howard Wang, in connection with a double homicide after two women were found deceased late Thursday night at a home on Kelobra Court. The investigation began when officers responded to reports of a disturbance involving possible gunfire at the residence. The initial report, shared on social media by Henry K. Lee, indicated that the Walnut Creek Police Department was investigating the incident, with assistance from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office.

Officers arrived at the 100 block of Kelobra Court around 11:45 p.m. to find the two adult female victims inside the home. The identities of the deceased women have not been officially released by authorities, though police have indicated they were related. The scene quickly became an active investigation, with law enforcement securing the residential area.

Following the initial investigation, Howard Wang was arrested and subsequently booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on two counts of murder. He is currently being held without bail. Police confirmed that Wang was known to both victims, and public records suggest he also resided at the Kelobra Court address.

Neighbors in the Woodlands area reported a history of domestic disturbances at the home, raising questions about the circumstances leading to the tragic event. Despite the shocking nature of the incident in the typically quiet neighborhood, police officials have reassured the public that there is no ongoing threat. "We do not believe there are any outstanding suspects in the case and that there is no indication of an ongoing threat to public safety," a police spokesperson stated.

The Walnut Creek Police Department continues its investigation into the double homicide, with a specific motive for the killings yet to be publicly disclosed. Authorities are urging anyone with information related to the incident to contact them directly or use their anonymous tip line to assist with the ongoing inquiry.
