California Massacre: Mom and Teen Son Arrested in Murders of 3 Children After She Performed Religious Ritual in Neighbor’s Yard

A massacre took place in California over the weekend, and a mother and a minor boy were arrested after her three children were found dead.

According to Law and Crime, Angela Flores was arrested late Sunday night after initially being questioned by police that morning.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said the incident occurred at a house on the 22500 block of Victory Boulevard in the West Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles.

LAPD Public Information Officer Matthew Cruz said no other suspects are being sought at the moment. Police said the victims were a 12-year-old girl and two 8-year-old boys.

The three children were all declared dead at the scene of the crime. The LAPD also arrested the California mom's teen son, who was allegedly involved in the triple homicide.

The California Massacre

According to New York Post, police went to Angela Flores' home at around 7:40 a.m. on Sunday after getting calls about an assault with a deadly weapon.

Arriving at the scene, responding officers found Flores' twin boys and her pre-teen daughter unresponsive. Paramedics noted that the children had been dead for several hours without knowing how they died.

Neighbors said the family had only moved into the home about three months ago. They added that they often hear arguments and screaming, including the night before the children were found.

Angela Flores Is a Suspect in the California Massacre

Neighbor Priscilla Canales told the Los Angeles Times that she heard Angela Flores on Saturday night screaming that her family was abusing her.

Canales noted that she saw the California mom walk into the next-door neighbor's yard, open a Bible, and light candles.

The neighbor who lived next to Flores, Blanca Hernandez, told CBS News that she was home when Flores started acting "erratically on her front lawn," prompting her to call 911.

She said she never saw Flores if she lived around the area. Canales added that Flores kept jumping up and saying, "Where's my Bible."

Neighbor Stephen Hayes told LA Times that the family looked like "nice, normal people," adding that the California mom's house "is one of the nicest-looking houses on the block."

Flores' teenage son, believed to have been involved in the killing of his siblings, was reportedly taken into custody after being seen running towards a neighbor's house. He was reportedly brought to a juvenile lock-up facility.

The LAPD said the California mom admitted to killing her children with the assistance of his 16-year-old son. Flores is reportedly facing three counts of murder and is being held on $6 million bail.

Reports said the abused child unit of the LAPD's Juvenile Division is currently working to determine the victims' time and cause of death.
