00:00Detectives swarmed the quiet street after early morning gunshots shattered the beachside
00:08serenity.
00:09I heard a sharp bang.
00:10It's very, very uncharacteristic again for the court.
00:13Very, very uncharacteristic.
00:14Police say a man and a woman went to this home on Parsons Street at about 4am.
00:20It's unclear the circumstances behind the shooting or whose hand was on the trigger,
00:24but a fight broke out and shots were fired, leaving the woman badly wounded as well as
00:29the 29-year-old male resident who was known to police.
00:33They were known to each other, all the parties, and that it was targeted.
00:39These skid marks offer a clue as to what happened next.
00:43Police believe the other man fled as the pair lay dying.
00:46Emergency services arrived, but they couldn't be saved.
00:49We are very concerned.
00:52We don't know if there is a firearm still outstanding.
00:54Pretty freaked out since it's on the street.
00:57We've only been living here for a few months, so yeah, it is quite scary.
01:02By daybreak, the street was a crime scene.
01:05Detectives spent hours going door to door for potential witnesses to the shootings.
01:09But in the popular summer destination, filled with holiday homes and short-term rentals,
01:14few people were home.
01:16I didn't think anything of it because it's such a quiet area.
01:19Police say they're trying to locate the man with the highest urgency, but they don't have
01:23a description of the getaway vehicle and it's unclear if there were any witnesses.
01:28They're also working to formally identify the dead woman as a complicated investigation
01:33continues.
