Two found dead at fire site

Shortly before 4 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, Davenport Police and Fire responded to the 5200 block of North Division Street for a report of a structure fire.

Davenport Fire crews arrived to find moderate smoke showing from an apartment and quickly extinguished the fire. During a search of the apartment, firefighters located two bodies.

The origin of the fire and cause of deaths were suspicious, police said at the time.

About 11 p.m. Monday, Jan. 15, Davenport Police received a call about a domestic disturbance at the home, hours before crews responded to the fire.

Our Quad Cities News spoke with a neighbor who lived in the area for over a year who called in the fire at the time. They said they did not know anyone personally who was living in the residence at the time of the fire and they would see different people leaving and arriving at the residence occasionally.

According to a Davenport Calls for Service Report, there were more than two calls made in reference to the location of the fire later that day.
