Unhurt Baby Found With Dead Couple

"GRANTVILLE, PA — A man and a woman killed in an East Hanover Township, Dauphin County motel each died of a single gunshot wound to the head in an apparent murder/suicide, a state police spokesman said Wednesday.

"The victims are 22-year-old Savana Mercedes Silva and 21-year-old Luis Angel Gerena-Morales, state police spokesman Rob Hicks said.

"`That is officially what we are labeling it,` Hicks said of the murder/suicide. `That's how we are investigating it. It's still early in the investigation; other things are being looked at. With the evidence that we do have, we feel it's appropriate to label it as such.`

"Hicks said evidence suggests Silva shot Gerena-Morales before turning the gun on herself.

"Police were alerted to the incident by an occupant of another rental unit at 7:42 a.m. at the 10200 Allentown Blvd location.

"A five-month-old baby girl was found in the rental unit unharmed, Hicks said. She was taken into custody and was placed with Children and Youth Services. Silva was the mother of the girl, but Hicks said they have not confirmed if Gerena-Morales was the father.

"Police found the bodies lying close together in the living room/kitchen area of the small apartment with the large caliber handgun nearby. It is unclear if there were any signs of a struggle."
