Officials said Ortiz died from multiple gunshot wounds while Serrano's autopsy was still ongoing as of midday Tuesday, Jan. 2. Both of their deaths have been ruled homicides, the Coroner added. 

Ortiz, Serrano, and an unnamed 66-year-old man were found shot in a house on the 100 block of Chestnut Street on Friday night, Daily Voice reported.

The adult man was hospitalized and is expected to survive his injuries, police have said.
