Detroit police are actively investigating a residential crime scene after the bodies of three men were found in the basement of a home.
According to “WXYZ” and CBS News, just before 1 pm local time on Wednesday, February 18, police were handling a missing persons case near Ford Street. A man approached the police and claimed that he had been attacked in a house on Edsel Street.
The unidentified man also claimed there were bodies inside the house where he was attacked.
“Officers entered the basement of the home and found three adult males who had apparently been brutally assaulted,” Detroit Police Commander Rebecca McKay told reporters in a broadcast broadcast by WXYZ.
Additional footage showed multiple law enforcement officers inside the Edsel Street home, which was cordoned off by police.
“They are dead. We are currently studying all the evidence and the case is still in its preliminary stages,” the police commander continued.
McKay also said the victims, whose identities have not been released, were approximately 50 years old or older, the Detroit News reported.
Sources told WXYZ their bodies were wrapped in towels and rugs and had blood everywhere.
PEOPLE reached out to the Detroit Police Department and Michigan State Police but did not immediately receive a response.
