Police identify 2 men found dead in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE - Police have identified two men who were found stabbed to death in a home on Milwaukee's north side.

Police said Monday 56-year-old Alfonso Martinez Sr. and 57-year-old Manuel Martinez were discovered dead on Dec. 1. Police went to their residence after a woman requested a welfare check because she hadn't seen her neighbors in days.

The woman tells police the front door of the home was open for three days and loud music was coming from the residence.

It's unclear when the men were killed.

Police arrested a man at the house who they say chased them with a butcher knife. He was charged in that incident but no charges have been reported in the deaths.
