2 found dead in Fort Lauderdale apartment

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Police are investigating after the bodies of two people were found inside an apartment in Fort Lauderdale’s Victoria Park neighborhood on Tuesday.

Authorities aren’t ruling out whether it’s connected to a similar incident on Florida’s west coast.

It happened in the area of Northeast 15th Avenue and Fifth Street. Police said they were called to the home at around 1:30 p.m. for a welfare check when they made the discovery.

Homicide detectives worked well into the night to find out what exactly led up to the deaths. With residents shaken over the incident, police said they were able to determine that it was isolated and there is no threat to the residents in the community.

Authorities have not publicly identified the victims, who were described as adults.
