Police found a woman and her uncle dead inside a Santa Ana storage facility, along with an injured man who authorities say is the suspect in the killings.
A bloodied spear was found at the scene of a double homicide and attempted suicide in Santa Ana, though it was not clear whether the weapon was used in the attacks, police said Friday. The chaotic and gruesome scene unfolded Thursday around 4:30 p.m. in the 1200 block of East Chestnut Avenue, according to police. A woman called police and informed them that she and her uncle had been stabbed, said Natalie Garcia, a spokeswoman for the Santa Ana Police Department.
Neither the victims nor the suspect, all of whom police say were adults, has been identified. Garcia said the injured man had been dating the woman who was found dead. She had been fatally shot in the upper torso, and her uncle died from stab wounds, police said. Authorities are investigating the case as a double murder and attempted suicide, saying the man shot himself.
