<\/div>

According to the Tampa Police Department, the woman has been identified as 36-year-old Tyneisha Burroughs. The man was identified as 41-year-old Jamel Williams.<\/p>

Investigators said Burroughs and Williams were last known to be in a romantic relationship before their deaths.<\/p>

Police released the identities Wednesday as detectives continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the two deaths.<\/p>

Man found dead inside vehicle<\/h2>

The backstory:<\/p>

Shortly before 1:30 a.m. on May 25, officers responded to the 6900 block of North Central Avenue after receiving reports of a vehicle stopped in the roadway with its engine running.<\/p>

When officers arrived, they found Williams dead inside the vehicle. Investigators previously said he appeared to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>

Police said Williams was the only person inside the vehicle.<\/p>

Woman discovered dead inside damaged home<\/h2>

Dig deeper:<\/p>

Several hours later, shortly before 6:30 a.m., officers were called to a home in the 200 block of East Patterson Street after reports of an unresponsive woman.<\/p>

At the scene, investigators found Burroughs dead inside the residence.<\/p>

Early findings indicated there was smoke and structural damage inside the home, suggesting a fire may have recently occurred.<\/p>

Investigation continues<\/h2>

What we don’t know:<\/p>

The cause and manner of Burroughs’ death have not yet been publicly released. Officials said the medical examiner’s office will determine her official cause of death.<\/p>

While investigators have now confirmed Burroughs and Williams were romantically involved, authorities have not released additional details about what may have led to their deaths.<\/p>

Detectives say cases are connected<\/h2>

Police have previously said that evidence indicates the two deaths are connected and are not believed to be random incidents.<\/p>

Tampa police said the investigation remains active and additional information will be released as it becomes available.<\/p>
