VOORHEES, N.J.

The girlfriend of a military doctor who killed a former New Jersey colleague, then himself, was found fatally shot in her apartment in North Carolina, authorities said Thursday. Ballistics tests will determine if the same gun was used in both crimes.

Dr. Giocondo Navek, 39, ambushed Dr. Payman Houshmandpour, 32, in his car outside his home in this Philadelphia suburb as he was leaving for work Wednesday morning. Minutes later, Navek killed himself when police stopped his vehicle just a mile away.

Authorities said the body of Shawna Dianne Givens, 35, was found at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday in her apartment in Fayetteville, N.C., after she failed to show up for work. Givens was believed to have been killed days earlier.

Navek was an Army physician at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, according to Shannon Lynch, a spokesperson for the medical center. He worked in the acute minor illness clinic, akin to an urgent care center after hours.
