LINDENHURST, N.Y. (1010 WINS) – Two men were found shot to death on Long Island—one inside a car and one in a front yard—in a suspected murder-suicide on Monday, police said.

Suffolk County police officers responded just before 4 p.m. to a 911 call on Nevada Street in Lindenhurst, where they found a man lying on the front lawn of a home with a gunshot wound to the chest.

The man, identified as Marek Gusciora, 66, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The investigation then led police to a vehicle in a shopping plaza parking lot about a half-mile away at 455 Park Ave., where they found Augustyn Jedra, 69, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police are investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide. The relationship between the two men wasn't immediately clear.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Suffolk County PD’s Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392.
