Two people were killed in a house fire in Brownsville early Friday, prompting response from arson investigators and homicide detectives. 

It happened at a home on NW 19th Avenue and NW 53rd Street at around 3 a.m.

Two people who lived in the home, a man and a woman, were pulled from the residence and taken to Ryder Trauma Center, Miami-Dade police said, but they did not survive.

It's unclear how many other people were inside at the time of the fire.

The cause of the blaze was also not immediately known.

Images showed firefighters entering into the home as flames are visible through a broken window.

When first responders arrived, they saw the home fully engulfed. They have since put it out, police said.
