UPDATE: What we know about couple found dead in home

JERSEY CITY – Authorities are investigating an apparent murder-suicide inside a Country Village home, sources say.

Police arrived in the neighborhood during Monday morning's rush-hour commute and found a man and woman dead from apparent gunshot wounds in different parts of the home at 2 Mina Dr., sources with knowledge of the investigation

A family member discovered the bodies and the couple's children, a 2-month-old and a 5-year-old, were inside the home.

Neighbors gathering around the home – which is at the corner of Sycamore Road – described the man and woman as "lovely people" who kept their home well maintained.

One woman, who asked not to be identified, was nervous as she walked through the neighborhood late Monday morning.

"Oh my god, that's scary," she said as police officers walked out of the home.

Today's incident occurred directly across the street from where Monica Montone was killed inside her home in 2014. Her husband, Kevin Montone, was charged with murder and his trial is expected to begin in court today.

The Regional Medical Examiner arrived at the scene just before noon.

The male found dead today also owned a home across the street, tax records show.

Additional information from the Hudson County Prosecutor's was not immediately available.

If ruled a homicide, it would be the third murder in Jersey City this year. In 2017, three women died in domestic violence incidents. One of those victims was killed in a murder-suicide.
