A couple from Wisconsin was found dead inside a car just days before celebrating their 1-year wedding anniversary.

The Harvard, Illinois Police Department said in a news release that the couple were found when an officer on October 6 noticed a parked car with its hazard lights activated. When the officer went to look inside the car, both were found dead. They were later identified as Rachel Dumovich, 29, and Brandon Dumovich, 30, from Sharon, Wisconsin, the McHenry County Coroner's Office told NBC5.

Police said both people had gunshot wounds, adding a gun (O)was found inside the car. The police department didn't release additional details on how the couple died, but said the McHenry County Major Investigative Assistance Team was activated for the incident.

While police told nearby residents to shelter in place after finding the dead couple, it was "later determined there was no ongoing threat to the community."

A wedding page on The Knot for Rachel and Brandon describes the couple as "middle school sweethearts."

Rachel described that she met Brandon in middle school when she was 12 years old and caught his attention by "stealing cologne from his locker and running away with it."

The two stayed in "touch through many life stages and 15 years of friendship," Rachel wrote, sharing that they began dating in 2022.

Brandon proposed in the summer of 2023 at Big Cedar Lake in Slinger, Wisconsin, where the pair got married on October 12, 2024.

"We can’t wait to share the next chapter of our love story surrounded by our friends and family!" Rachel wrote in announcing the wedding.

Hours before her death, Rachel posted on Facebook: "Forever chasing sunsets. Wishing we were back in Greece." The post appeared to reference the couple's honeymoon.

Galvanized by President Donald Trump’s sweeping second-term agenda, a new generation of progressive Democrats is working to redefine the party's future.

The original "Squad," a group of young, left-wing lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 as a referendum on Trump’s first term. 

Now, with Trump back in the Oval Office and Republicans controlling both the House and Senate, a new wave of progressive candidates is emerging across the country.

ZOHRAN MAMDANI LAUNCHES ANTI-TRUMP TOUR ACROSS FIVE BOROUGHS IN NEW YORK CITY

Zohran Mamdani's Democratic primary win shocked the political establishment in June when the self-identified democratic socialist handily defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York City's mayoral primary.

The New York assemblyman has centered his campaign around affordability, successfully using social media to build a broad coalition of support among New Yorkers. 

Mamdani's platform includes ambitious campaign promises like freezing the rent, free childcare, fast and free buses, city-run grocery stores, raising the minimum wage and "Trump-proofing" New York City. 

He plans to pay for his ambitious campaign promises by raising taxes on corporations and the top 1% of New Yorkers. 

YOUNG PROGRESSIVES LOOK TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI, AOC AS FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – UNDER ONE CONDITION

Mamdani has been endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America. 

Trump has labeled Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic" and "My Little Communist," but Mamdani has maintained that he is a democratic socialist. 

Dubbed the "Mamdani of Minneapolis," Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh is running for Minneapolis mayor this year. 

Like Mamdani, Fateh is a self-identified democratic socialist and has been endorsed by the DSA. 

Fateh, the son of immigrant parents from Somalia, has committed to raising the city's minimum wage, increasing the supply of affordable housing and combating what he calls police violence. 

Similar to Mamdani, Fateh has called for replacing some of the police department's duties with community-led alternatives. He also wants to issue legal IDs to illegal immigrants.

Kat Abughazaleh, 26, is the progressive Gen Z candidate running for Illinois' 9th Congressional District next year. 

A viral video of an ICE agent shoving Abughazaleh to the ground outside the Broadview U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility on Sept. 19 has become a flash point in the divisive debate over Trump's deportation rollout. 

Abughazaleh is a former journalist and activist who frequents protests outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. 

She recently accused Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of perpetrating "crimes against humanity."

Abughazaleh garnered national attention earlier this year for questioning why it's controversial that illegal immigrants should have access to taxpayer-funded healthcare. 

"I don't have health insurance, and I'm running for Congress," the young progressive's campaign website reads. 

Aftyn Behn, a former healthcare community organizer and current Democrat state representative, on Tuesday secured the Democratic nomination to represent Tennessee's 7th Congressional District.

The Dickson County Democratic Party described Behn as "our very own AOC of TN," referring to "Squad" member Ocasio-Cortez, according to The Tennessee Star.

On her campaign website, Behn describes herself as a "pissed-off social worker," who was inspired to run for the House of Representatives after Congress passed Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act earlier this year. 

Behn is running in the special election to replace Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., who retired from Congress earlier this year. 

Mallory McMorrow has long been considered a rising star in the Democratic Party.

She announced her bid for U.S. Senate in Michigan earlier this year, framing herself as an outsider and calling for a new generation of leaders in Washington ahead of next year's midterm elections. 

McMorrow has said she would not vote for Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to continue as the party leader, adding that it is time for him to step back.

The 38-year-old Michigan state senator garnered national attention for her viral speech to the Michigan state Senate in 2022, where she pushed back on allegations from a Republican lawmaker that she was "grooming" and "sexualizing" children. 

"I am the biggest threat to your hollow, hateful scheme," McMorrow said, calling out Republican state Sen. Lana Theis for invoking her name in a fundraising email. "We will not let hate win."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Democratic National Committee, Mamdani, Fateh, Abughazaleh, Behn and McMorrow but did not receive responses.
