Three people were killed in Baldwin Park early Friday, and Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators said they are examining the case as a possible murder-suicide. (abc7.com) (ktla.com) The shooting was reported just before 5 a.m. on April 24 in the 3200 block of Millbury Avenue, near Millbury and Merced avenues in Baldwin Park. Deputies said the location is just south of the 10 Freeway. (ktla.com) (abc7.com) ABC7 reported the dead were an 80-year-old man, his 56-year-old wife, and a third man believed to be between 60 and 70 years old. The wife and the older unidentified man were pronounced dead at the scene, and the 80-year-old man died at a hospital. (abc7.com) KTLA’s earlier report said two adults were found dead at the scene and a third adult man was taken to a hospital in critical condition before later being pronounced dead. That sequence matches the later sheriff’s account carried by ABC7. (ktla.com) (abc7.com) Sheriff’s Lt. Steve De Jong told ABC7 that investigators did not have witnesses who saw the shooting happen. Authorities also said there were no outstanding suspects. (abc7.com) That combination — three dead at one home, no suspect search, and no public warning about an active threat — is why deputies said they were looking at the possibility of a murder-suicide rather than a shooting by someone still at large. (abc7.com) (ktla.com) Investigators have not publicly explained how the third man was connected to the married couple. ABC7 said it remained unclear how the victims were related to one another. (abc7.com) Neighbors told KTLA they woke to gunfire in what they described as a quiet residential neighborhood. One woman told ABC7 she heard shots around 4 a.m. and then saw deputies and helicopters outside the house across from hers. (ktla.com) (abc7.com) The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department asked anyone with information to contact its Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. As of Friday afternoon, deputies had not released a motive or identified the third victim by name. (ktla.com) (abc7.com)
