Authorities in Acton, Massachusetts, are investigating after two people were found dead inside a home Tuesday evening, while police search for a 17-year-old who reportedly lived at the residence.
Acton police responded to a home on Martha Lane at approximately 6:30 p.m. after a family member requested a well-being check.
Officers discovered two deceased individuals inside the home, identified as a woman and a teenage boy. According to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, neither victim had been publicly identified at the time of the report.
The cause and circumstances of their deaths remain under investigation.
Police Searching for 17-Year-Old
Investigators are searching for 17-year-old Arjun Aravind, who reportedly lived at the residence and whose whereabouts were unknown Tuesday night.
Authorities said Aravind may be driving a 2014 green Honda Accord belonging to the female victim. Police provided the vehicle’s license plate as 34PD94.
Aravind was described as approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall and 180 pounds.
Anyone with information concerning the investigation or Aravind’s whereabouts is being asked to contact law enforcement.
Residents in Acton should expect an increased police presence while investigators continue working to determine what happened.
Police Activity at Highland Commons
Authorities also confirmed that police activity at a shopping plaza in Hudson was connected to the investigation taking place in Acton.
Several police vehicles were seen blocking access to the neighborhood, while investigators established a perimeter around one of the homes on Martha Lane.
The investigation remains active, and authorities have not released additional details about what led to the deaths.
Highland Commons Shooting Investigation
Although the incident has generated searches and online references to a Highland Commons shooting, authorities have not confirmed that the deaths were the result of a shooting.
The available information states that two people were found dead and that the cause of their deaths remains under investigation. Speculation about the circumstances should therefore be avoided until investigators provide confirmed information.
This is a developing story. Additional information about the victims, the investigation, and the whereabouts of Arjun Aravind may be released as authorities continue their work.
