How they died
Suicide
A retired Ventura County Superior Court judge shot and killed his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself, police said. Ventura police said they responded to a home for a call of a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, officers reported hearing multiple gunshots within the home. Hostage negotiators communicated with 69-year-old Herbert Curtis III for three hours before they rushed into the home. When they entered the home, officers said they found Curtis dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Curtis' girlfriend, 54-year-old Patricia Payne, was found alive but died from multiple gunshot wounds.
