A week after a couple was found shot to death inside an SUV in East Fairmount Park, police have yet to identify a suspect, describing the investigation as "very much ongoing."

Police have interviewed two people who were dating the victims, Shakoor Arline, 25, and Lisa Smith, 32, who were killed last Friday.

Arline and Smith, who were shot while having sex in a white Toyota Sequoia parked near Lemon Hill Mansion, were both dating other people. A man who was dating Smith and a woman who was dating Arline have both spoken to police and provided alibis that police are still verifying, homicide Capt. James Clark said Thursday.

Police are also waiting on the results of a DNA test on the SUV's door handle and were searching for the murder weapon, a .40-caliber pistol. - Aubrey Whelan
