"When he failed to report and his supervisors were unable to contact him by phone, that's what prompted them to go by and check on him at his residence," Braden told reporters during a press briefing late Friday.

Responding officers found Tavarez-Rodriguez and his wife, Yenitza Arroyo Torres, both dead with gunshot wounds inside their home in the River Glen subdivision, police said.
