During the course of the investigation, detectives found another wounded man in front of 2475 East Clarendon Avenue.
That man, identified as 25-year-old Rico Guy, was also taken to the County Hospital, where he also died.
Following a medical exam this morning, police have ruled the deaths to be a murder/suicide.
Police believe the two men got into an argument in the driveway of the aforementioned address. Parra, police believe, ended the argument by fatally shooting Guy. Parra ran from the scene, and apparently fatally shot himself.
Police still have no motive for the shooting, and say the relationship between the two men is still under investigation.
