Rudy Soto says he heard six shots.
I heard this voice ... Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!, the neighbor told ABC 12. Then I heard two more shots, and the voice stopped, Soto said.
The married couple was killed Sunday by Robert Edward Fadal II outside the gated home, authorities said. The family physician, 56, allegedly walked outside the house in Seguin, Texas (about 37 miles east of San Antonio) and started shooting Tiffany Leann Strait, 30, and Anthony Ray Strait, 27, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
Anthony Strait died at the scene, authorities said. Tiffany Strait later died at the hospital, the Seguin Gazette reported.
The shooting has stunned the people who knew both the Straits and Fadal.
I think something like this is unusual for any type of neighborhood, Guadalupe County Sheriffs Office Lt. Craig Jones told FOX 29.
It happened while the couple was helping Fadals mother clean out the garage and move furniture at Fadals property, where she lives, the Seguin Gazette reported. The Straits lived nearby and were lending a helping hand, the newspaper said.

Soto told ABC 12 hed known Anthony since he was a child and that Fadal is one of the nicest persons (you could meet).
Anthonys brother, James Strait, described Fadal as a normal guy and told FOX 29 he has no idea how this could have happened.
I just want to know why, Strait said.
Authorities havent revealed a motive behind the shooting, FOX 29 reported.
At this time, there are no indications there was a feud, disturbance or anything precipitating or justifying the shooting, Jones said.
Fadal remains jailed on a charge of capital murder of multiple persons, the Express-News reported. He could face the death penalty if convicted of capital murder, FOX 29 said.
