Police Investigate Triple Slaying in Banning; 2-year-old Bound and Gagged

A 2-year-old was located bound and gagged nearly three hours after the deceased bodies of a man and two women were reported in a Banning home in California yesterday.

Authorities thought the boy was missing because a vehicle was seen leaving the crime scene. Detectives were treating all three deaths as homicides, though a murder-suicide scenario had not been ruled out.

Neighbors commented that the family was not well-off at all but as of right now there are no suspects and no motive for the murders.

Martha Parra, 57, who lives across the street from the home where the bodies were found, said she recalled one of the women who died. “She came here very thirsty once, and another time she came in the winter and asked for socks.”

Pastor Lillie Alexander, of God’s Holy Hand Testimony Ministry said “I’ve ministered to [the victims] and pray for them,” Alexander said. “I’ve helped them with food and counseling and prayer. I heard about this today and it’s just a tragedy.
