Aiexpress – Officials have confirmed the names of the four New Jersey family members who were discovered dead on Wednesday when police tried to serve them with eviction papers at the house they had lived in for 15 years.
The bodies were found around 10:30 a.m. “when officers entered the residence” in the suburban town of Union, according to a press statement from the Union County Prosecutor’s Office.
Ruby Alarcon, 51, his wife Andrea Alarcon, 42, and their two school-age girls, whose names were not released, were found dead inside.
“A joint investigation conducted by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force and the Union Police Department revealed that Andrea Alarcon fatally shot her husband and two daughters before fatally shooting herself ,” the release claims.
“Murder-suicide weapon” was found close to her body, the statement says.
“In tragedies of this magnitude, there are no words that can heal, nor explanations that can serve to make sense of them to the public,” the release adds. “Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of these victims and to the Union community as a whole in the wake of this horrible event.”
The family had money issues, according to NBC New York, and their home was taken on and sold at a sheriff’s sale in November.
It had been 60 days since then that the family had to leave the house.
