Henderson Police this morning are trying to identify a man and a woman seen leaving the scene of a double homicide in an apartment Tuesday.

The man and woman left the area in a bronze colored car just before police arrived. Police say the two suspects have not been identified.

Two men in their 20s were found dead in the apartment about 8:15 a.m. Tuesday at the Sunset Winds Apartments at the corner of Sunset Road and Eiger Way. Police said the apartment was the scene "of a very violent struggle with blood and broken furniture everywhere."

Police have not determined if the man was involved in the double slaying, Henderson Police Capt. Richard Perkins said.

Officers discovered the two slain men after neighbors called police to report a suspected fight inside the apartment.
