Cleveland Metroparks Homicide-Probe: Elderly Brooklyn Couple Found Dead in Suspected Murder-SuicideSource: Google Street View

The Cleveland Metroparks Police Department is currently investigating a tragedy that struck over the weekend when two individuals were discovered deceased in a vehicle near Mastick Woods Golf Course. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victims as 78-year-old Barbara Conroy and 81-year-old Dennis Raymond Conroy, both from Brooklyn. Officials explained that Barbara's death is being treated as a homicide.

Police found the bodies last Saturday evening during a patrol around 11 p.m. A parked car caught an officer's attention in a parking lot adjacent to the golf course, and upon closer inspection, both occupants were found deceased from gunshot wounds. In a statement obtained by Cleveland19 News, it has been revealed that Barbara Conroy had been reported missing earlier on the day of the discovery.

Further reports detail that Dennis Conroy may have been responsible for the events. A gun was located on Dennis Conroy's lap, as noted by the Cleveland Metroparks Police report cited by FOX8 News. The incident, at present, is suspected to be a murder-suicide, with the relationship between the deceased hinting at a familial connection.

Dennis allegedly picked up Barbara from a Cleveland nursing home before their death, according to what investigators have shared with Cleveland Metroparks Police. At this time, no further details have been released as the investigation is ongoing. Local news sources, including WKYC, closely monitor the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
