A young man allegedly shot dead with his partner on a rural South Australian property can now be identified.

Lucasz and Ms Ireland are believed to have travelled from Adelaide to the property.
"Two beautiful young kids, both good kids, have been taken too early in really unfortunate circumstances," Ms Ireland's father told 9News yesterday.
The bodies of the teenagers were found by police at the property north-east of Millicent just before 11.30pm on Saturday.

Police said other people had been present at the time of the alleged shooting.
"It's a tragic event and the impacts of this will not only be felt for the particular families involved and the associates and the relatives, but also for the south-eastern community," Detective Inspector Campbell Hill said.
Operators from the Puddle Jumpers charity in Adelaide where Ms Ireland volunteered were today in mourning for the university student.
"She had a really big impact, children we drawn to her and you could often see the children laughing and giggling with Chelsea," charity worker Melanie said.
The man charged over the deaths will face court again in December.
