Metro Police homicide detectives are continuing to probe the suspicious deaths of a man and a woman whose bodies were found in a southeast valley house on Friday.
Officials today say both victims were shot.
A caregiver arrived about 10:40 a.m. to the house in the 4200 block of Vader Avenue to provide a welfare check on the victims, who were only described as being in their 50s with low mobility and substantial medical issues, police said.
When looking through a window, the healthcare provider and Clark County Fire Department personnel saw one a body on the floor. Firefighters forced their way inside and found the second, police said. Each body had a gunshot wound.
A motive or a possible suspect have not been identified. On Friday, police said that they were backing away from deeming the crime a murder-suicide. Today, they maintain that both deaths are suspicious.
