Two men were found shot to death inside an apartment in District Heights, Maryland, about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Prince George’s County police said.
When and why they were killed is not yet known.
“We received a 911 call at 9.25 this morning,” Officer Thomas Lester said. “We do not believe preliminarily that this incident occurred at that time receiving that 911 call. We do believe it happened prior to that, and that is a timeline our investigators are working to put together.”
Police said it wasn’t a random act of violence. They are working to determine if the men are connected to one another. Their names have not been released.
