The bodies were found in an older-model Chevy Traverse with Connecticut license plates parked on Getty Avenue between two strip clubs down the road from St. Joseph's University Medical Center at 11:40 a.m.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a brief news release.

The presence of a gun suggested a possible murder-suicide, but it was too soon to tell.

Detectives from the city police department and Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating, assisted by the Passaic County Sheriff's Office and state Medical Examiner's Office.
