"Virginia police are investigating what they believe was a murder-suicide in which a man allegedly fatally shot a woman in a car in front of their infant baby, PEOPLE confirms.
On Saturday morning, Virginia State Police arrived at a road near Mappsville on Saturday and found Elizabeth Jensen, 20, and Jonan Gonzalez-Funes, 27, dead in an apparent murder-suicide, according to a police statement from the Accomack County Sheriff's Office obtained by PEOPLE.
The couple's infant child was in the car at the time. Police said the baby was "determined to be in good health." It is unclear how long the child had been in the vehicle.
Police said they believe Gonzales-Funes, of Bloxom, fatally shot Jensen, of Sanford, before turning the gun on himself.
"Custody of the child has been turned over to the other family members," police said in the statement.
Gonzales-Funes was a correctional officer with the sheriff's office, to the statement.
A friend of Jensen told
WAVY-TV that Jensen enjoyed horseback riding.
"She always had a smile on her face, always laughing and having a good time," Alyssa Behr said of Jensen, who went by her middle name, Madison.
A friend of Gonzales-Funes described him as "quiet."
"I didn't think he was ever capable of something like that, he seemed like an alright dude," J.C. Snead told the station.
The investigation is ongoing and autopsy results are pending, police said"
