Three people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in an apartment on Montgomery Avenue off Carmichael Road on Saturday morning, not far from where a double homicide took place earlier this month.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson said police made the discovery sometime after six o’clock this morning.
The deaths bring the murder count so far for the year to 85. It also marks the seventh homicide recorded so far for the week.
According to Ferguson, the assailants busted in the door of the small apartment, shot both women in the head and shot the man in the back.
There were also four young children in the home at the time, said Ferguson, who added that one of the children had a hand injury as a result of this incident.
