According to news reports, Monica Quan and her fiancé were shot to death in their car on Sunday night. She was 28 years old and played her college ball at Long Beach State and Concordia University.

The police are investigating it as a double-homicide and not a murder-suicide. As of now, there appear to be no suspects and the police have not identified a motive.

“It doesn’t appear they were robbed,” Irvine Police Lt. Julia Engen told the Orange County Register. “There’s no obvious motive.”

Thoughts and prayers go out to Quan’s family and friends, as well as the entire CSF program.

Here is CSF’s statement:

“We can confirm that the information we have at this time indicates that Cal State Fullerton Assistant Women’s Basketball Coach Monica Quan was a victim in what law enforcement is characterizing as an apparent double homicide in Irvine.

The loss of any member of the Titan family causes our community great grief, but the loss of one of our own under these circumstances is indeed tragic and heartwrenching.

We hope that Monica’s family and friends will feel and be comforted by our support during this difficult time. Counselors will be working with our staff and student-athletes as we all begin to struggle with the suddenness of losing such a special member of our university.”
