Saturday, August 22, 2009

Three people were killed and a woman was kidnapped in a murder-suicide in Ontario, police said Saturday.

Officers were called to the scene of a shooting at house on the 2700 block of East Chaparral Street at about 5:30 a.m. When officers entered the home they found a 21-year-old male and his 48-year-old mother shot to death. Their names have not been released.

The gunman, Joey Demello, 25, is believed to be the ex-boyfriend of Ashlee Saldana, who was staying at the house that night. After the shooting Demello took Saldana from the home against her will.

Officers later found Demello's body at a trailer park near the California-Nevada Border. Investigators said he shot himself. Saldana was found near the scene but was not hurt.

Officers said Demello was on active parole.
