Man and woman found shot in the head inside East Harlem apartment
Investigators say no firearm was recovered as detectives probe whether the two victims were killed in a targeted attack.
On Thursday night, New York City Police Department officers discovered a 55-year-old woman and a 66-year-old man shot to death inside an East Harlem apartment at 2029 Second Ave.
Law enforcement sources identified the woman as the man's home health aide, though police withheld both victims' names pending family notification.
Investigators found no firearm at the scene, and police have not released a description of a possible perpetrator as the motive remains under investigation.
The incident occurred at NYCHA's Gaylord White Houses near East 105th Street, where shooting incidents in the 23rd Precinct are down by more than 37% this year.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS, with Spanish-language assistance available at 888-57-PISTA.
