SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Detectives at Metro Homicide told ABC 57 News that they have no current solid leads in a double murder investigation but will hold a press conference Monday morning.

Kalyn Farmer, 21 was brought by a female friend to Memorial Hospital Sunday morning with a gun shot wound to the chest.

Farmer was unresponsive and unable to tell officers who shot him or where the shooting happened.
