California radiologist, wife fatally shot in driveway by son, police say
Dr. Eric Cordes, 63, and his wife, Vicki, 66, were shot multiple times Sunday

The son of a California radiologist has been identified as the suspect in the fatal shooting of his father and stepmother at their Simi Valley home.

Dr. Eric Cordes, 63, and his wife, Vicki, 66, were shot multiple times in their open garage on Sunday shortly after 12 p.m. local time. The victims were taken to a local hospital and later died of their injuries, the Simi Valley Police Department told ABC News.

Keith Cordes, 37, allegedly shot the couple multiple times before fleeing the scene in a car to the city of Chino, police said. He then reportedly set the car on fire before fatally shooting himself, police said.

The San Bernardino County Medical Examiner's Office was able to confirm the remains in the car set ablaze as Keith Cordes on Tuesday, police said.
