The authorities of Gwinnett County, in the state of Georgia (USA), identified the three Hispanic siblings, two girls and a boy, who were found dead this morning from a gunshot wound inside a car, in which the body of an adult was also found.
The victims were identified as Arianny RodrÃguez, 13 years old; Carlos RodrÃguez, 9, and Chadal RodrÃguez, 11, of Atlanta, whose bodies were found when an officer on patrol routine in the early hours of today in the Lucky Shoal park approached a car parked on one of the paths of the promenade.
Upon verifying that the occupants of the car did not respond to his calls, the agent investigated the event and discovered the bodies inside: that of a man in the driver’s seat and three children, the Police reported.

The mother of the minors was at a local hospital with another child who doctors were treating for an injury.
Law enforcement officials believe it is a “possible case of murder-suicide” possibly committed by the husband, although he “is not the father of the three victims” and no longer had relations with the woman.
“The suspect met with the mother and, shortly after, the mother agreed to let the three children found dead.” They went with the supposed murderer to eat something while she remained in the hospital with the other child.
The suspect’s name has not yet been released, but will be released, police said, once his next of kin are notified.
