An investigation is underway near 11th Avenue and West Virginia Street on the Southside after what Tucson Police say is an apparent murder-suicide.
According to T.P.D, a man and woman in their 60s were found dead in a home.
KGUN 9 spoke with neighbors around the home who shared they had all been living in the area for many years. They said they had not spoken to the people living at the home where police were investigating.
One neighbor, Tina Morales, shared that there was unusual behavior at the home the Friday before the incident.
"You never know who moves in," Morales said. "I don't know how long they've been there. What caught my attention was the drilling. What is he doing? Drilling in the middle of the day, the whole day. He wouldn't stop. In the middle of the heat, I'm like, 'What is he doing drilling on the concrete?'
"My son picked me up to go to the doctor's and when we came back, he was still out there. And that's when we conversed about what's going on."
Details are limited at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
