BOSTON -- The man suspected of killing two engaged doctors in their luxury penthouse condominium once held a security job there, police said.

Engaged doctors found dead in their Boston penthouse

A Boston Police Department report indicates that Bampumim Teixeira worked at the complex sometime before 2016, the Boston Globe reported. There was no evidence that he was employed there recently.

The 30-year-old Teixeira is charged with two counts of murder in the Friday deaths of Dr. Lina Bolaños and Dr. Richard Field.

His attorney entered not-guilty pleas on his behalf during his arraignment Monday at the hospital where he is recovering from gunshot wounds suffered during a standoff with police.

Responding officers found the victims bound and dead, with "obvious trauma." CBS Boston reported they had their throats slit. A black bag of Bolaños jewelry was also found inside their unit.

On Monday, Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley said that, contradictory to what was suggested by Boston Police, there was no evidence Teixeira knew or had a "personal relationship" with either of the victims.

Conley also said Teixeira did not open fire on police before he was shot by officers, but a fake gun was and a knife were found at the scene.

Police previously said Teixeira opened fire when police confronted him at the door.

In a statement, Field's family called the deaths of both doctors "a tragedy beyond measure."

"However, we want to remember Richard and Lina for who they were, not how they died," it said. "We will remember and celebrate their passion, gentility, and extraordinary kindness forever."

In a Facebook post translated from Spanish, the mother of Bolaños, who was Colombian, wrote about her daughter, reports CBS Boston:

"My beautiful girl, nothing and no one can tear you from my heart, I loved you, I love you and I will love you until eternity!" wrote Ana Delia Vergara.

Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Monday that they were working with the Colombian Consulate in Boston to keep Bolaños' family informed, and will accompany them when they come to Boston.
