CA- 6 people found shot to death in remote desert area of El Mirage - Jan 2024 *ARRESTS*

[tlcya]

One victim was found the following morning (victim 6). Does this mean they were found some distance from the main scene at the crossroads? Could that indicate they were running and had to be chased down to be killed?

At least some of the bodies appear to have been set ablaze. An indication that someone survived to leave the scene IMO.

Was there a third vehicle there that night that the perpetrator(s) or survivor(s) left the scene in?

Could victim 6 be the one that killed the others, then themselves.

when I looked at the pictures, it looked to me like there was a drag mark from the "puddle" I saw another picture that lead that drag mark to a black blur which I am assuming is a body. Looks like they were trying to get away from the shooting to me. crawling/dragging themselves trying to get away.

I think the call came in at 8 p.m. Copying this from the WVNG article in Post #3.

"The grim find was made late Tuesday evening on January 23, 2024, around 8pm. Deputies were dispatched to the site, positioned north of Victorville, arriving approximately 15 minutes after the initial call to conduct a welfare check."

LE was probably worried about an ambush if so remote. Glad they had aviation as well.

possibly, or maybe staggered away after being wounded and succumbed to injuries.

Maybe trying to escape, and/or trying to get help.

Curious who reported the "welfare check" to LE and what time the call came in?

G-o-o-d questions, @Knox. SMH.
How horrible. WTH was this? A cult? Just people wanting to live on the land (hardly, and nearly impossible, seems to me).
What a desolate area. SMH. Hoping for more info.

Oh geez this is awful

It has the looks of a cartel hit.
I assume a third vehicle would leave tire tracks in the dirt.
If both vehicles were attacked, one could have been a security escort for the other. MOO.

The crime scene is 3 miles from HWY 395, 11 miles from Silver Lakes / Helendale.

El Mirage says it's 27 miles? Silver Lakes will always remind me of Robert & Sabrina Limon - Robert was killed in Tehachapi at the BNSF shop, but they lived in Silver Lakes.

This is very close to where the bodies of the McStay family were found 10 years ago. 16.55 miles to be exact.

 

[noseynancy]

Probably cartel activity, a lot of grows out there, probably related to this other unfortunate event where 3 deceased were found nov. 2022 BREAKING: Remains found of 3 dead people, one confirmed to be of missing man

Maybe the second car was an accidental bystander.

 

[Dawookie]

My best guess would be someone who was planning to camp or leaving the area of the dry lake bed
People go out there to race and off-road apparently.


JMO

Id be surprised if it was someone coming or going from the lake bed. Its been closed because of the weather as they don't want it damaged. Plus the easiest way in and out to the campground is off of El Mirage road.

Accidental bystander seems pretty unlikely given how remote that area is
