When officers arrived, they found Melikyan and Roll shot to death, along with the wounded Mkrtchyan.
Mkrtchyan was rushed to Jackson South Hospital where he underwent surgery and was in critical but stable condition, police said.
Police said Roll was believed to be the shooter, and that he and Melikyan were in some sort of domestic partnership.

Mkrtchyan is Melikyan's son, police said.
In an online business profile, Roll said he moved his family to South Florida from California after the COVID-19 pandemic.
But a bankruptcy petition filed in January suggests things did not go as planned, at least financially.
Roll and Melikayan reported making less than $3,200 a month, he while trying to arrange small business loans, she while working at Milam’s Market. But their rent at Gables Ponce was more than $3,500.
A month after their debt was discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, a judge signed an order for their eviction from the apartment, records showed.
Police haven't released a possible motive for the shooting but said it remains under investigation.
