A man shot a woman to death before turning the gun on himself early Monday in the Logan Square neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

About 4:10 a.m., officers responded to the 3600 block of West Cortland Street and found 39-year-old Faviola Coreas and 44-year-old Jose Rossado unresponsive with gunshot wounds to their heads, Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
