A Pinion Hills man and his 9-month-old son were found dead early Sunday morning in a possible murder-suicide in Twin Peaks, according to sheriff's officials.

Deputies from the Hesperia sheriff's station received a report Saturday that a 25-year-old man took his infant son, who resides in Yucca Valley, during a court-ordered visitation and threatened to kill his child and then commit suicide, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

Deputies found a vehicle with the bodies of a man and child at 1:30 a.m. Sunday on a rural dirt road in Twin Peaks. Both bodies had suffered traumatic injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene, sheriff's officials reported.

Neither of the victims have been identified by authorities.

An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Sheriff's Detective Ryan Ford or Sgt. Frank Montanez at (909) 387-3589.
