“The situation is being treated as two suspicious deaths,” Dorelas said.
Police said in an update Wednesday that they were killed by gunshots in a “family context,” but did not provide more details. The victims were not publicly identified and police did not specify their relationship, citing the ongoing investigation.
No arrests have been made.
Investigators were brought in and a safety perimeter was put up at the scene.
