The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) is currently investigating a case involving two individuals found dead in a residence on the city's east side, a situation they believe to be a murder-suicide. As reported by WRTV, the deceased were discovered after officers were summoned for a welfare check to the 1300 block of N. Chester Avenue, after 8 p.m., on Thursday.
When officers arrived and tried to communicate, they noticed a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the property, which led them to enter the home. Inside, they found two people who had both been shot and were dead. The exact details of how they died are still under investigation.
According to Fox59, officers responding to the North Chester Avenue address made multiple announcements before entering through an unlocked door. The IMPD's initial assessment suggests it might be a murder-suicide, but the identities of the deceased and the motive are still unknown.
