Yoanka and Dhany Aguilar, mother and son found dead in Miami Lakes murder suicide that leaves 5 dead including male gunman. No known motive.
An apparent murder suicide at a Miami Lakes, Florida home has led to two men and three women found dead, including a woman and her adult son.
Miami-Dade Police found all five people shot to death while performing a wellness check Friday morning at a home in the 14800 block of Northwest 87th Court.
Police believe a man killed four adults – another man and three women – before turning the gun on himself.
Investigators said a relative called authorities shortly before 10am Friday after being unable to contact someone inside the residence according to NBC Miami.
Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said officers entered the home through an unlocked window and found one body before finding the additional bodies.
