SUMMARY:
On Sunday, February 7, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. deputies responded to the Pauhaska Street location for reports of a stabbing and shooting. Deputies arrived and found a male and female deceased near the front of a home and a third person laying in the street suffering from apparent knife wounds.

Homicide detectives responded to conduct the investigation. Detectives determined Jeremy was at the home of his father and step-mother, Jerry and Lorain, and for unknown reason attacked them with a knife. Both victims ran outside and sought help from neighbors, and Jeremy left the location. While neighbors called 911 and assisted Jerry and Lorain, Jeremy returned and began attacking Lorain again with a knife. A neighbor ran into his home, armed himself with a gun and yelled to Jeremy to stop, but he continued stabbing Lorain. At that time the neighbor shot Jeremy and stopped the attack.
Lorain and Jeremy were pronounced deceased at the scene. Jerry was airlifted to the hospital and remains hospitalized.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information, or anyone who witnessed the incident, is asked to contact Detective Simon DeMuri, Specialized Investigations Division – Homicide Detail at (909)387-3589. Callers can remain anonymous and contact WeTip at 800-78CRIME or www.wetip.com.
