The Windsor Police Department said officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2400 block of Highland Avenue shortly before 7:30 a.m. Friday after a report of an unknown problem.

When police arrived, they found a 69-year-old man dead inside the home.

Employees of the especially serious crime investigation team and the investigative-operational team were called to the scene.

Investigators suspect that the murder is an isolated incident at this time. Windsor police say there is no evidence to indicate any threat to public safety.

Law enforcement officers are surveying the neighborhood in search of witnesses and details of the incident.

Police are also asking residents in the immediate area to check dashcam or surveillance footage recorded between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. Friday morning for “evidence related to this case.”
