Police are investigating a homicide in New Haven.

Police said they found more weapons, including an assault rifle, in a car owned by a man they say gunned down his younger brother outside their family business in New Haven and fatally shooting himself before their parents in their Westport home.

The New Haven Register reports that police recovered an assault rifle in the car of Daniel Shwisha, 47, another handgun and ammunition.

Police said they traced the car that Daniel Shwisha drove to his parents’ house to a rental company and located his personal car parked nearby.

His younger brother, Gordon Shwisha, 45, was killed on Monday after arriving at the family business, Electrix.

Police said Daniel Shwisha was fired or otherwise forced out of the operation of the business and believed his parents took the elder son's side in the dispute.
