The scene of a Fountain Hills double homicide investigated Monday morning has been burglarized, MCSO officials said.

The shooting is connected to the string of northeast Valley killings that police say were carried out by Dwight Jones, who shot and killed himself at a Scottsdale hotel Monday morning.

Mary Simmons, 70, and Bryon Thomas, 72, were found with gunshot wounds inside the house. Investigators determined that a gun dumped by Jones had come from the house.
