Person detained, arrested on suspicion of murder after 3 fatally stabbed in Baldwin Park home

Three people were found dead inside a Baldwin Park home, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said, and a 23-year-old man who lived at the home was arrested on suspicion of murder.

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.

Homicide investigators did not identify the suspect, but said he was related to the victims. All three were stabbed multiple times in the upper parts of the their bodies; investigators offered no information about their ages.

Baldwin Park police told reporters that when they arrived at the home, the suspect tried to drive off and crashed in a nearby cul-de-sac, authorities said.

Authorities added they did not consider the violence a random act but did not comment on a motive.

The Sheriff’s Department withheld how the victims and the suspect are related.

“Out of respect for the family of the victims, the exact relationships will not be released at this time,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.

The names of the victims and the cause of deaths will be announced by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office and the full case will be presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. Additional information about the case will be released after the prosecutor’s office reviews the case, according to the sheriff’s department.

Anyone with information about the case can contact the Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
