Police are investigating after a man and woman were found dead early Sunday at an encampment in south Wichita.

Officers were called to a report of an overdose in the 2900 block of South Washington.  They got to the scene shortly after 8:30 a.m. and found the bodies of a man and woman. The woman was identified as 20-year-old Stevie Metts of Wichita.  The man was identified as a 35-year-old Wichita resident, but his name was not released.  They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers also found a 25-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman unresponsive and unconscious.  They were taken to a hospital in grave condition.

Police believe this to be a case of fentanyl poisoning, but they are still investigating.  They are reminding residents to only take prescription pills given to them by a doctor.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact detectives at 316-268-4407, Crime Stoppers at 267-2111 or the See Something Say Something hotline at 519-2282.
