Police identify brothers who lived together in a Clinton home where they were both found dead.

CLINTON, Md. — Prince George's County police are investigating a double-fatal shooting in Clinton as a murder-suicide.

Authorities said both victims were brothers who lived together in the home where they were both found dead last week.

The two men have been identified as 37-year-old Kelvin Rascoe and 32-year-old Benjamin Rascoe.
