It hasn't been revealed yet what may have led to the deadly violence.

Police say neighbors reported hearing bangs around 10 or 11 p.m. on Sunday and investigators believe what people heard were gunshots.

Those neighbors thought nothing of the noise, writing it off as ongoing renovation work inside the property.

Investigators also say, aside from the front door being open slightly, there isn't evidence to suggest there was a forced entry.
