MOUNT DORA, Fla. — A money reward is being offered for information in a homicide investigation surrounding an elderly couple found dead in their house over the weekend.
Police in Central Florida say the elderly couple was found dead at their home which is in a senior living facility in Mount Dora. WESH reports an 83-year-old man and his 80-year-old wife were found dead inside the apartment.
Around 4 p.m. Saturday, police received a 911 call from Waterman Village security about "suspicious activity," the news outlet explains. And when authorities arrived at the apartment, the couple was found.
"We're committed to spare no expense learning the facts that led to this untimely death,” Interim Police Chief Mike Gibson said to WESH.
Gibson also announced later Monday afternoon that there's a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for the death, Click Orlando reports.
As of now, police haven't released the cause of death, and they won't disclose the names of the two, WFTV reports.
According to WESH, the couple's son, who is out of town, was notified of his parents' death.
“We’re moving, this case is fast-moving. I feel very confident that we’re going to have a successful conclusion,” Gibson reportedly said during a town hall meeting on Monday.
