Two people in Denver were found dead Saturday night at a former hotel that the city is using to shelter homeless people, authorities said.
The victims, a man and a woman, were found around 9:20 p.m. in one of the shelter’s residential rooms at the former DoubleTree Hotel in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, the Denver Police Department said.
Police did not immediately release further details surrounding the homicide investigation, including manner of death. It was unclear whether the victims were residents.
No arrests have been made and no details about a suspect were immediately available.
A nonprofit group that provides affordable housing acquired the 300-room building in November.
The city is now leasing the property, which is still classified as a hotel, as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 initiative, FOX31 Denver reported. The program aims to reduce the number of homeless people in Denver.
