BERTHOUD, Colo. (AP) -- Police in Berthoud say they believe a man shot and killed a woman at a birthday party and then killed himself.

Investigators say Maria-Isabel Erivez-Arzaga was killed Wednesday night during a party for a relative at a Berthoud home.

They found the body of Sergio Leon-Yanez a short time later in a motor home.

Investigators say it appears he shot himself after barricading himself in the vehicle.

Police Chief Glenn Johnson says he believes the couple were married. Both were 36 or 37 and lived in Estes Park, in the mountains about 25 miles west.

No one else at the party was injured.

Berthoud is about 35 miles north of Denver.
