NEW DETAILS | A double death in a Fort Pierce condo sparked a manhunt that led investigators straight to someone within the family circle, CBS12's Al Pefley reports.

The Fort Pierce Police Department identified the elderly couple found dead inside their Harbour Isle at Hutchinson Island condominium as 85-year-old Philip Repaci Sr. and 80-year-old Joan Repaci, both residents of Fort Pierce.

Additionally, police said their son, 55-year-old Philip Repaci Jr., has been named a suspect in their deaths. The deaths were deemed suspicious, and officers secured the gated community while processing the scene. According to Fort Pierce Police, Repaci is a former New York City Police Officer.

"We have a family that is completely devastated by the occurrences from yesterday, and we are working through this system to try and be able to put all the pieces together of this puzzle to be clear and have some clarity for the family so that they understand what actually transpired," said Maj. Mike Santiago, Fort Pierce Police.

Police responded to the residence around 12:30 p.m. on February 24, after the couple's daughter requested a welfare check when the couple missed a scheduled appointment. Officers discovered the pair in the living room area with apparent gunshot wounds.

Maj. Santiago says there were signs of a struggle inside the victims' condo. According to investigators, their adult son left the scene prior to police arrival. A BOLO was issued, and he was later located and detained by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office. Portions of the Harbour Isle complex remain restricted as officers and crime scene technicians continue gathering evidence, and a media staging area was established at 805 Harbour Isle Drive East.
