Three people were found dead inside a Baldwin Park home a day after Christmas, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said.
Authorities discovered three bodies — two females and a male — at a home in the 4700 block of Bogart Avenue around 6:48 p.m. Thursday.
No details were available, but the case is being treated as a homicide investigation.
Baldwin Park police told reporters the victims were stabbed multiple times and a person of interest was in custody. The man encountered the police when they arrived at the home,, but he tried to drive off and crashed, authorities said.
“I know he came from the house, but I don’t know if he actually lives there yet, or what his association is to the house,” Lt. Michael Modica told KABC-TV.
Authorities added they did not consider the violence a random act but did not comment on a motive.
