Cohoes police have released the names of the two people killed Tuesday in a murder-suicide at an apartment complex near North Mohawk Street.
Police Chief Todd Waldin said autopsies determined that 37-year-old Jadet Forman killed his wife, 30-year-old Gabrielle Forman, in an apparent domestic dispute.
Waldin said Jadet Forman fired the shots around 11 a.m. Tuesday, from an unregistered 9mm handgun, commonly known as a ghost gun. Police declined to comment on the source of the gun.
Gabrielle Forman's brother went to check on her after her video call with her mother was interrupted. Waldin says her brother called 911 after hearing gunshots at the house.
"The only shots that were fired were before the police arrived, and if they both died by gunshot wounds, and given the nature of the gunshot wounds, they would be deceased before any officers arrived," Waldin said.
Jadet Forman had no criminal history, and no disturbances were reported to the police during the time the couple lived at The Lofts at Harmony Mills.
The investigation remains ongoing.
