Miami, FL: Possible murder-suicide investigated


Miami police Sunday continued their investigation into what appeared to be a murder-suicide after a man and woman were found dead Saturday.

Police were called to an apartment at 6340 W. Flagler St. by the cousin of one of the victims, said Officer Jeffrey Giordano, a police spokesman.

The caller told police he had not seen his cousin since Thursday and that he went to the apartment to check on him. Giordano said the man knocked on the door, and after no one answered he peered through a window and saw his cousin on the floor.

Giordano said officers entered the apartment and confirmed that the man was dead. They also found a woman's body in another room, he said.

``It appears to be a murder-suicide,'' he said. ``At this time detectives are not looking for any offenders.''

Police did not immediately identify the victims.

Giordano said a weapon was found in the apartment, though he would not say what it was.
