Police said a maintenance worker and a resident who was trying to pay rent discovered the two victims inside the management office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Investigators previously said they did not believe the deaths were a murder-suicide and believed a third person was involved.
