SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- A suspect has been charged with manslaughter in a woman's death after a shooting at a Spring-area apartment complex that also killed a man, authorities said.

According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the victims have been identified as 22-year-old Junior Ruiz and 34-year-old Estelle Camarillo.

The suspect, identified by deputies as 32-year-old Adrian Abreu, was booked in the Harris County Jail.

Deputies said Ruiz and Camarillo were found dead with gunshot wounds at the complex along FM 2920 near Ella.

Investigators said Abreu was in a dating relationship with Camarillo and may have been an acquaintance of Ruiz.

Deputies said the incident began when Ruiz showed up at a woman's apartment. They said the woman called a friend for help, scared because of a previous domestic assault.

That's when, investigators said, Abreu arrived at the woman's home with Camarillo and got into a fight with Ruiz.

According to officials, Abreu told investigators he shot at Ruiz during the fight. Deputies said both Ruiz and Camarillo were shot and killed.

HCSO said Abreu is facing a manslaughter charge in Camarillo's death. He is also being charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon, according to deputies. A grand jury will determine if he will also be charged in Ruiz's death, authorities said.

Court records show Abreu is already serving a four-year deferred sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. As part of the agreement, he was told to forfeit any weapons.
