Overview
- Authorities identified the shooter as 52-year-old Hector Lionel Alfaro, who killed his wife, Roxana Rodriguez, 48, and their 17-year-old daughter, Sienna, before taking his own life inside the family’s Lakewood home.
- Deputies responded around 8 a.m. Thursday to the 5800 block of Lorelei Avenue after a 19-year-old daughter reported her father had fired at her and was lying unconscious nearby.
- Investigators said the eldest daughter awoke to gunfire, was shot at several times but not hit, and that Alfaro then shot himself while near her.
- Two firearms were recovered at the scene, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau is seeking information at 323-890-5500.
- Mourners held a candlelight vigil Saturday for Rodriguez and Sienna, and a GoFundMe for the surviving children has raised more than $76,000.
