Tucson police have identified two people killed in a Midtown home on Saturday night.
Husband and wife Quinterious Straughter, 27, and Aries Straughter, 26, were found dead in their home in the 3200 block of East Willard Street, near East Speedway and North Country Club Road, at about 7:15 p.m.
The two apparently were shot and killed, police officials said, and they are treating the case as a homicide, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
Police officials said they believe the killings were drug-related. But Officer Dallas Wilson, a police spokesman, said Sunday he couldn't say why they believe the motive for the killings was related to drugs.
Neighbors had reported yelling and the sound of glass breaking, followed by a woman yelling that "they're all dead inside," Pacheco said.

The woman, whose name was not released, was the sister of Aries Straughter, police officials said.
When police arrived at the house, they encountered the sister, who said she came to the house to check on Aries Straughter because she hadn't heard from her in several days and found her dead. Police were called, and and found the two bodies in the house.
Neighbors at first thought the sister was trying to crawl out of a broken window in the home, but it appeared she broke the window to see inside, Pacheco said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.
