MODESTO — Two people found dead Thursday outside of a Modesto home have been identified.  

According to the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office, at around 1:45 p.m, deputies responded to a call in the 1500 block of Imperial Avenue in Modesto on the report of a person who was shot. 

While driving to the scene, deputies received another call reporting that someone had shot their mother. 

When first responders arrived at the scene, they found an injured man outside of the home, lying near the road. A woman was also found in the front yard of the home. 

Both people were pronounced dead at the scene. 

On Saturday, the Stanislaus Sheriff’s Office identified the man as 29-year-old Derek Pimental. He reportedly shot the maternal grandmother of one of his children before shooting himself, according to a public information officer.

The woman was identified as 55-year-old Lisa Flores.

Deputies say there was another woman and an infant inside the home at the time of the incident. They weren’t injured, but were taken to the hospital as a precaution. 

Detectives have taken over the investigation. 

An autopsy on those who were killed will reveal their causes of death.
