OAK GROVE, Ark. -- The Carroll County Sheriff's Department is investigating the deaths of a couple.  The sheriff's department responded to a call at approximately 4 p.m. Sunday at 918 County Road 433, near Oak Grove.  Deputies found Jason Johnson, 25, and Rebecca Sisk, 19, shot to death in their mobile home.

Neighbors of the couple were shocked to hear the news of what happened.

"I was shocked.  I was actually kind of scared because I knew Becca; we went to school together," said neighbor Megan Yates, who lives about 100 yards from the couple.  "It's a little scary; I mean, it's just right there.  They could easily just come up the road a hundred yards."

"They" didn't, however.  "They" did however stop at the home of Johnson and Yates, a couple whose lives together are now over so soon after they began.

"They were really nice.  She never hurt anybody; she was just a regular teenager, I guess.  It just makes me sad, a young couple like that," said Yates.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Department asks for the public to call with any information they may have.  Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Department at (870) 423-2901.  A Facebook page has also been set up in memory of Sisk and Johnson.

The sheriff told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the possibility this is a murder-suicide case has not been ruled out.  Criminalists at the State Crime Lab in Little Rock will perform autopsies.

Neighbors say this is the latest in a series of tragedies for the Johnson family.  Wesley Johnson, 19, was killed in a car crash last year.  The family's home burned in May.
