A California couple accused of murdering three women inside a Hemet home last week were apprehended in Las Vegas, allegedly in possession of a car belonging to one of the victims.
PEOPLE confirms Jordan Guzman, 20, and her 18-year-old boyfriend, Anthony McCloud, are each being held on $2 million bail after being charged Thursday morning with three counts of murder.
Soon after arriving, officers found the dead woman. A search of the home turned up two more bodies.
The three victims were identified as Wendy Lopez-Araiza, 46, her 21-year-old daughter, Genesis Lopez-Araiza, and Trinity Clyde, 18.
Police have yet to disclose the causes of death, but did reveal all three women suffered blunt force trauma. Their bodies also showed obvious signs of strangulation.
According to investigators, Guzman had recently moved into the home, and McCloud was a regular visitor to the house.
Relatives told KTLAthe three victims wanted Guzman to move out.
Detectives say Wendy Lopez-Araiza’s husband came home Wednesday night, while the two suspects were still inside. They eventually fled the residence, according to police — allegedly driving off in Clyde’s car.
