State police have identified the two men who were found dead in a burning vehicle in Oxford last week.
State police said 36-year-old David J. Rivera and 39-year-old Carlos O. Calderon were found dead in a vehicle on Route 34 in Oxford on the morning of May 30.
They were both from Hartford.
The office of the chief medical examiner said Rivera died of a gunshot wound to the head and his death has been ruled a homicide.
The cause of Calderon's death has not been determined. It is pending further studies, according to the office of the chief medical examiner.
State police were called to respond around 4:10 a.m. and found the vehicle engulfed in flames.
Once firefighters put the fire out, Rivera and Calderon were found dead in the vehicle.
