Crime scene techs were out all morning looking for clues to what happened.
Several officers went into and out of the house while the entire block of new townhomes was roped off by crime scene tape.
A homeowner CBS3 spoke to says he was stunned something like this would happen to his neighbors.
"They're a really nice couple. We always talk to each other, and we always, every day, we talk," Seshu Gavarea, a neighbor, said. "Sometimes I go to their house. We talk. We have get-together parties, too, but they're very nice people, though. I don't know what happened. We're trying to figure out what happened. We are waiting on more information, too."
The suspect is also wanted for an armed robbery Monday morning in West Goshen Township and another armed robbery, carjacking and shooting in Philadelphia.
The West Goshen Township Police Department says the man is also connected to a robbery at an Exxon station on the 800 block of South High Street in West Chester.
If you recognize this man, you're asked to call Pennsylvania State Police.
