Columbia Police are being tight-lipped about a death investigation in central Columbia, just west of Providence.

CPD investigators say officers responded to the 500 block of Woodlawn Avenue Thursday afternoon at about 12:15 for a death investigation. Columbia Police confirm two people were found dead at that location. A reporter from our news partner KMIZ saw at least four Columbia Police vehicles and police tape around the home. ABC-17 News crews saw officers looking at the back of the home.

CPD officers say detectives, crime scene investigators and officers are currently working to determine further information. They describe their investigation as ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to call Columbia Crimestoppers at (573) 875-TIPS. Your identity will be protected.
