Police are investigating the two deaths in southeast Topeka as homicides.

Officers responding Monday to a report of "unknown trouble" at the one-story home found a boy, 17, and a woman, 28, who had been critically injured.

They were pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics arrived.

Police spokesman Lt. Andrew Beightel says he wasn't able to comment on the cause of death. He says police were tracking down leads.

The names of the victims have not been released pending notification of relatives.
