Alexandria, LA: Couple's death ruled murder-suicide

A concerned neighbor who called Alexandria Police because she couldn't contact her elderly neighbors led to officers finding the couple dead.

Alexandria Police and the Rapides Parish Coroner's Office ruled the deaths a murder-suicide, according to a press release.

On last Thursday, the neighbor called police after she couldn't contact George Marshall, 81, or his 83-year-old wife, Margie Marshall, at their Kirkpatrick Street house. When officers entered, they found both dead from gunshot wounds to their heads.

The investigation found that George Marshall shot Margie Marshall, and then shot himself.
