Police say domestic situation ended with two people shot to death

LANSING — Two people were shot to death Thursday night by a third person at a home on Lansing's south side in a what police have called a domestic situation.

The victims, a 50-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman were found at a home in the 500 block of Woodrow Avenue, near South Cedar Street, about 9:30 p.m., Lansing Police Department Public Information Officer Jordan Gulkis said.

The victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

"This is believed to be a domestic situation," Gulkis said via email. "So far, no arrests have been made, but the accused is known to police."

Officers were dispatched to the address in response to a possible shooting.

"This is an ongoing investigation," Gulkis said, adding police are still determining "the sequence of events and details of the incident."

Police did not immediately release any further information.

The homicides are the second and third of the year in the city, all within the past two weeks. A man who was shot in the leg on April 10 died this past week from that wound.

Anyone with information about this homicide is asked to contact Detective Matthew Salmon at 517-483-6855, the Lansing Police Department at 517-483-4600, ext. 5, Crime Stoppers at 517-483-7867, or send a private message through the Lansing Police Department Facebook page.
