INDIANAPOLIS -- Police are searching for four suspects after three adults were found shot to death in a home on Indianapolis' east side Thursday morning. 

Homicide detectives with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were called to a house in the 1800 block of Forsythia Drive around 10 a.m. Thursday

The three people killed were Mark Higgins, 64, Keith Higgins, 34, and Jessica Carte, 34.

The investigation started when one of the people didn't show up for work Thursday, police say. A relative doing a check on a family member found the front door open and found a man laying on the floor.

Police located a red Monte Carlo in the 100 block of S. Catherwood Avenue that was taken from the home Thursday afternoon. They believe four suspects exited the vehicle from that location on the same day as the homicides, but were unable to provide any description of the suspects. 

Police believe the murders are an isolated incident and there does not appear to be any threat to the public. 

Anyone with information about the crime, the suspects or the red Monte Carlo should contact IMPD Homicide Branch at 317-327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
