Milwaukee police are investigating the deaths as homicides, according to WISN.
The two victims, whose relation to each other has not been disclosed, were found dead inside the house around 9 p.m. Neither victims’ identity has been released. Officials have yet to say if one or both of the pair were killed in the fire or died before it began, The Journal Sentinel reported.
