Montebello Attack Leaves Two Dead, Including Juvenile, and Two Injured
A tragic incident unfolded in Montebello, California, early Thursday, leaving two people dead – including a minor – and two others with severe injuries. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack, assuring the community that there are currently no outstanding suspects.
Initial Response and Discovery of Victims
Police responded to an apartment complex located on Lohart Avenue for what were initially described as unknown circumstances. Upon arrival, officers discovered a deceased man behind the building. A subsequent search of the entire complex revealed a second fatality: a male juvenile.
“Officers did a sweep of the entire building,” a law enforcement source stated.
In addition to the two deceased individuals, first responders found a woman and a female juvenile suffering from severe head injuries. Both were immediately transported to a local hospital, and their current condition remains unknown.
Lack of Gunshot Evidence and Ongoing Investigation
Despite the severity of the injuries, neighbors reported not hearing any gunshots in the vicinity. This detail adds to the complexity of the investigation, as the method and motive behind the attack remain unclear.
Authorities have not yet released information regarding the cause of death for the two victims or the nature of the injuries sustained by the survivors. It is also currently unknown if investigators have identified a suspect or made any arrests.
“It is not clear how the two people died and how the two others were injured,” a police spokesperson confirmed.
