On Sunday night, Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office identified the deceased as Michael Fischella, 32, and Tanaia Wilkinson, 25, both of Curve Street in Millis.
The pair were found near their vehicle, and a gun was found below the body of the man, the DA said.
The man and woman were originally from outside Massachusetts but recently began living in Millis, according to Millis Police Chief Chris Soffayer.
