A father and son were found dead in a Los Angeles neighborhood Tuesday evening and authorities believe it could be a murder-suicide.

Officers found the bodies of a man and a young boy outside a vehicle that was parked near William Tell Aggeler High School.

LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton reiterated after conflicting reports that the pair were found outside the vehicle and died at the scene. 

Hamilton told reporters that a murder-suicide was a “working theory.” 

It remains unclear exactly how the pair died. No weapons were recovered at the scene and the case remains under investigation.
