An infant was found unharmed at a northeast Arkansas home where a man and a woman were discovered fatally shot in a suspected murder-suicide Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The Jonesboro Police Department on Wednesday identified the adults as 50-year-old Johnny Cook and 39-year-old Terry Hardcastle. Both lived at the home and were dating, Sgt. Lyle Waterworth said.
Investigators didn't divulge which person was suspected of shooting the other.
"We've got a pretty good idea," Sgt. Lyle Waterworth said. "But I couldn't say with 100 percent certainty."
Waterworth said he also couldn't confirm the adults' relation to the infant. The child was turned over to a family member.
Officers were first called about 9 a.m. to the home near Jessup Drive and North Church Street "in reference to a possible homicide," Waterworth said in a statement. "Preliminary evidence on scene" suggested a murder-suicide, Waterworth added, noting the bodies were sent to the state Crime Laboratory.
"We will investigate all leads and follow the evidence to bring closure to this case," he said.
