[cvaldez1975]

Is it possible the 17 year old who is charge with murders had an accomplice, who is the remaining unidentified dead person at crime scene #1?

no they ID they are all Bonds but the police do say they think he had other help.

Where are the mugs shots? Put their faces out there!!!! IMO The 17yr old will be charged as an adult so that one will probably take time.

Brynn Curtis 34 FB PAGE (her profile states she is from Parlier CA so that may explain the search warrant there)

Rafael Gonzalez 21 (think I've found his but not 100% sure and there is nothing much of note on the page anywho)

No photo of the juvenile, but there is a hearing tomorrow. Perhaps they will move to try him as an adult?

I know some of you are asking who the person is, it's on SM by family but has yet to be announced on MSM so It can't be brought here yet.

Two of the victims have since been identified by police as 81-year-old Billy Bonds and 44-year-old Guadalupe Bonds. Both were living at the home at the time of the incident.

Hoo boy...the mom gave birth at 17, she has a 17-yr-old son and a 21-yr-old bf.

yeah, while nothing illegal about it, the closeness in ages of her son and love interest personally skeeved me out. Her social media suggests a very self involved and vain person JMO

her mug shot suggests skin picking, if you will.

her mug shot suggests skin picking, if you will.

that or a bad case of acne. all her photos on social media appear to be heavily made up and/or filtered. If heavy makeup, her skin could have paid the price for that. Or maybe drug use and picking are responsible.

Wish the press would say when the teen's hearing is today and if it has already happened - what the outcome was on the petition to try him as an adult.

17-year-old accused of Reedley homicides set to be in court Thursday.
video at this link state the teen was to have his hearing this morning. So far no news about the outcome of that hearing.

Why won't the press update us. I am impatient to begin sleuthing the minor. if he is charged as an adult then he is fair game for that.

Oh I’m aware but most 30’s women are past that (not all I know) I am thinking the latter because of this big old case.

REEDLEY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Community members are invited to take part in a candlelight vigil in honor of the Bonds family members who were killed.

The gathering will be held Friday afternoon at 4 pm in front of the home on Church Street where the victims were found.
Candlelight vigil to be held for Reedley family members killed

 

[Cartie]

I wonder if mum and bf played a bigger role in this and she got her son to confess to it all telling him because of his age it won't be so bad. She seems like mother of the year .

Also the whole in the ground go me, it could be they were out back digging a whole to hid the deceased and had poor Matthew still alive maybe to get further info on bank details or hidden money they heard about. But they heard the family put up and jumped over the fence back to their property, might be why they have been caught so quickly, because they left a trail

 

[JoeFromLB]

I certainly hope the 17-yr old will be tried as an adult, and upon conviction be sent away for 60 years at least.
The articles so far indicate a very violent murder scene.

article states the teen (whose initials are given as RI) appeared, gave a denial of the charges. Petition to try as an adult was not argued on Thursday, it will be decided at a future hearing with a date not yet determined.

His mother and grandmother were present. He has not been assigned counsel as of the hearing yesterday.

Reedley Police Department​

Press Release: Update on South Church Avenue Quadruple Homicide Investigation

The Reedley Police Department provides an important update regarding the ongoing investigation into the homicides that occurred in the 1100 block of South Church Avenue.

The Fresno County Coroner's Office has concluded its preliminary examinations and determined that all four victims sustained fatal gunshot wounds. This critical piece of information adds to our understanding of the events that transpired and is a significant factor in our ongoing investigation.

In a related development, the 17-year-old male juvenile charged with four counts of homicide in this case made his first court appearance yesterday. He will remain in custody until his next hearing in February. The District Attorney's office has petitioned for the juvenile to be tried as an adult, a decision that I, as the Chief of Police, fully support given the nature and severity of the crimes.

The Reedley Police Department is committed to thoroughness and transparency throughout this ongoing investigation. We understand the community's need for answers and justice, and we are working tirelessly towards that goal.

We urge anyone with information regarding this case to come forward. You can contact the Reedley Police Department directly at (559) 637-4250. Additionally, we have tip lines available at (559) 356-8690 and (559) 246-4183, the latter for Spanish-speaking individuals. Your input could be crucial in bringing further clarity and resolution to this case.

We thank the community for its continued support and cooperation. The Reedley Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to resolving this tragic situation and ensuring justice for the victims and their families.

RPD has announced all four victims died of gunshot wounds and the motive was items stolen from a safe in the Bond home. How did the kid know there was a safe that contained something valuable enough to kill four people? Curious if he had been in the home before, or if the families were friendly as neighbors? Guadalupe is said to have been a volunteer and really invested in helping others
