(Updated at 11:30 a.m.) Police are investigating another possible homicide, this time in the Hall’s Hill/High View Park neighborhood.
A maintenance worker found two people dead in an apartment on the 1900 block of N. Culpeper Street, after a family member had called because they hadn’t seen the resident or residents for awhile, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. A television was on in the apartment, according to Sternbeck, and blood could reportedly be seen on the ground, according to scanner traffic.
The deceased are two African American males in their 40s or 50s, Sternbeck said.
Police are now on scene, investigating the incident as a possible homicide or double homicide. At least one family member is also on scene.
This could be the third homicide in Arlington in as many weeks. On July 24, a woman was killed in a murder-suicide near Fairlington. On July 27, a jewelry store owner was killed during an armed robbery on Columbia Pike. A 53-year-old D.C. man was charged with murder last week for the latter crime.
Prior to July, there had not been a homicide in Arlington since March 14, 2010.
