Pine Bluff Police are continuing their investigation into a double homicide that was reported early Monday morning but have no suspects or motive for the slayings at this time.
The bodies of a male and female were found in an apartment at 1504 N. Haley St. The pair were pronounced dead at the scene of apparent gunshot wounds.
The names of the two victims have not been released as yet, as both police and the Jefferson County Coroner said that although the victims have been identified, they have not been able to locate the next-of-kin for the woman.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
The two victims bring to 15 the number of people who have been killed this year inside the city limits in 13 separate incidents. Last year, 10 homicides were reported in Pine Bluff.
Also, there have been three homicides reported outside the city limits.
