HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- As an investigation continues into the murder-suicide at the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Houston, police have confirmed the man and woman killed were dating.

The incident happened Tuesday at the hotel on Walker Street at around 3:33 p.m.

According to an update issued by Houston Police Chief Troy Finner, when officers arrived, they found a woman and a man dead in the lobby.

The pair has not been identified, but according to Houston police, the woman was 27 and the man was 39 years old. It's unclear how long the couple had been dating or what led up to the shooting.
