Police had been told that the subject inside the home had sent a message to a family member indicating that he had killed his ex-girlfriend and was going to kill himself, Jackowski said.
"Upon arriving, officers forced entry into the home and located two deceased individuals inside,'' the lieutenant said.
The victims have been identified by the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office as Mary Knott, 44, and the deceased suspect as Hilton Williams, 33.
