Following over an hour of unsuccessfully attempting to communicate with the man via a speaker system, police entered the store at about 3 PM where they found the deceased male.

At a press conference shortly thereafter, Utica police reported that following an argument, the male allegedly shot the woman, his girlfriend, and then reportedly entered the store, where police believe he then shot himself.
