Two residents of a senior living facility on Clark Street in Hartford are dead after a shooting Thursday morning and police are investigating their deaths as a murder-suicide.
Police believe 67-year-old Luis Dejesus shot 73-year-old Preeman Faniel several times after getting into an argument outside the building, then he shot himself.
Officers responded to the back of 35 Clark Street when Shotspotter went off around 11:43 a.m. and they found the two men unresponsive.
Dejesus died at the scene. Faniel was taken to the hospital where he later died, police said.

Both men were residents of the building, police said.
Neighbors reported hearing the argument, then five and 10 gunshots just before noon Thursday.
"Talking to people in the area, it was an altercation. It was a minor argument that suddenly went south," said Lieutenant Aaron Boisvert, of the Hartford Police Department.
