According to the Shelby Township Police Department, the bodies of a 42-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were discovered at a home in the 11000 block of Whispering Oak Lane, in the area of 25 Mile and Jewel Road, the morning of July 17.
The deceased both reportedly had gunshot wounds.
"At this time, additional information on the subjects will not be available, but our department wishes to relay that there is no danger to the public," police added.
