BREAKINGNEWS: A neighbor called 911 several times to try to help a 15-year-old girl in Riverside moments before a man she met online killed her mother and grandparents and set their home on fire, police say.
Before the crime unfolded, a neighbor down the street called police to report an unknown car with Virginia license plates parked in her driveway.
"She did seem and appear a little distressed, so it was concerning enough to these people to call," said Riverside PD Ofc. Ryan Railsback. "And based on how they were found, it was pretty disturbing, it was obvious they died of homicide," said Railsback. "We believed for him to be armed and dangerous, of course we would, he just killed three people and he's in law enforcement, so things happen, this suspect's no longer going to be able to prey on anybody else," said Railsback.
"Our hearts go out to the Winek family and their loved ones during this time of tremendous grief, as this is a tragedy for all Riversiders," stated Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez. "This is yet another horrific reminder of the predators existing online who prey on our children. If you've already had a conversation with your kids on how to be safe online and on social media, have it again. If not, start it now to better protect them.
