The man police believe killed his wife in Penfield and attempted to kill his mom in Riga has been found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Pennsylvania, Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter said Wednesday.

Police on Wednesday evening identified the man as 52-year-old Arnold Ford Jr.

The woman killed in Penfield is Ford's wife, while the injured woman in Riga is Ford's mother, said Chief Deputy Mike Fowler. Police did not release the name of Ford's wife, pending positive identification at the Medical Examiner's Office.

Baxter said deputies found the woman dead inside 89 Collingsworth Drive in Penfield around 10:30 a.m. after Ford's employer called 911 requesting a welfare check when he didn't show up to work.

The Collingsworth Drive address is very near the Penfield-Brighton town line.

Baxter said a quick and diligent initial investigation at that scene led deputies to request another check at 251 Leibeck Road in Riga.

"They found an elderly lady there with a wound to her head, a serious physical injury, but she was still alive," said Baxter. He said she had been there for a couple of hours. The woman was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, where Baxter said she is in "critical condition."

Police on Wednesday afternoon identified that woman as 75-year-old Florence Ford.

Police believe both victims were bludgeoned, Baxter said.

"There could be more injuries; we don't know yet," he said. "The investigation is ongoing."

Public records show the Riga home is occupied by a 75-year-old woman whose 52-year-old son and 51-year-old daughter-in-law lived in the home on Collingsworth Drive in Penfield.

As part of their investigation, Baxter said police were able to use license plate scanner technology to track the movements of the suspect to the Pennsylvania state line.

"The state police in Pennsylvania had also located that vehicle and inside the vehicle was a male with a self-inflicted gunshot wound," he said.

Ford's vehicle was located in a suburb outside Erie.

"We are sending investigative teams down to Pennsylvania to coordinate with state police now and work that end of the investigation and we have diligent teams working both of the crime scenes here in Monroe County," he said. "We are confident there is no threat to the community at this time, that this is an isolated incident."
