Police officers responding to a 911 call found the pair unresponsive just after midnight in a building on Williamsbridge Road at NYCHA’s Pelham Parkway houses in Allerton.
The 42-year-old man had been shot in the head and the 41-year-old woman had been shot in the neck, police said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman died at NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi.
Police believe the shooting is a murder-suicide as the man’s gunshot wound appears to be self-inflicted and a firearm was found near his body.
Investigators assume the two knew each other, but their exact relationship wasn't immediately clear, police said. The woman, identified as Kristina Jones, lived at the building.
