LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Detectives were investigating three deaths in Lauderhill on Monday.
Lt. Greg Solowsky said officers responded to the home at 3650 NW 3rd St. about 3 p.m. Officers found three bodies inside.
Solowsky described the crime as a "heinous act" and said the relatives of the victims were "in a very, very emotional grieving state."
In two separate incidents, a man and a woman who were distraught fell to their knees. About an hour later, dozens surrounded the home.
