ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) – Two people are dead after a homicide-suicide in New Haven on Monday.

The man has been identified as 61-year-old Kirk Willinger, while the woman’s identity is yet to be released.

The incident took place in the 900 block of Canal Place Circle just after 6:15 p.m. Police were called to the apartment complex after a call from an employee, and when they arrived, they could see a man lying on the floor, but the door was locked.

Willinger’s death, which was caused by multiple gunshot wounds, has officially been ruled as the 16th homicide in Allen County this year.

The incident remains under investigation.
