BELMONT, Bronx (WABC) -- Two people are dead and one person was critically injured after a domestic dispute in the Bronx.



34-year-old Linda Manigault and her 10-year-old daughter Heaven were found dead inside a home on Belmont Ave. near East 181st Street around 1:30 p.m. Saturday.



The woman's 32-year-old boyfriend was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in critical condition after a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He is in police custody.



Police believe the girl was not killed on Saturday - it is unclear when her mother was killed.



Officials say the family's other children - ranging from a six-year-old to a teenager came home and found the 10-year-old dead. They called a family member, who then called 911.



When police arrived, the mother and the boyfriend were then found.



It is unclear how the mother and her daughter died.
