The Los Angeles County coroner\u2019s office identified the dead as: 1-year-old\u00a0Noah David<\/strong>, 2-year-old\u00a0Kaden David,<\/strong>\u00a07-year-old Germarcus David Jr.,\u00a0<\/strong>11-year-old\u00a0Namyiah David<\/strong>, and 51-year-old Ericka England <\/strong>(the children’s grandmother and the suspect’s mother-in-law).<\/p>\n

Each of the victims was shot in the upper body, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau. Sheriff\u2019s detectives have released little information on the circumstances surrounding the shooting. According to online media reports, England had been babysitting her grandchildren, and the children\u2019s mother returned home Sunday night, found the bodies of her family, and called 911.<\/p>\n

“No family should endure this type of tragedy, especially when the alleged perpetrator was responsible for their protection,” District Attorney George Gascon said in a statement. “Our office has reached out to the family to ensure they have all the services and support they need during this difficult time.”<\/p>\n
