Cartel implicated in six murders at California home as teen mother and child identified

Six people, including a teenage mother and her six-month-old baby, were the victims of a suspected cartel attack in California, authorities said.

Samuel Pina said his 17-year-old granddaughter Alyssa Parraz and her child Nicholas Nolan Parraz were among those killed in the shocking attack in Goshen on Monday morning.

“I can’t wrap my head around what kind of monster could have done this,” he told The Associated Press.

Mr. Pina said that Parraz and her child lived on her father’s side in Goshen. He also told the news organization that her father’s uncle, her father’s cousin, and her grandmother and great-grandmother were also killed.

“I think it’s directly related to the cartel,” Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreau told The Los Angeles Times on Monday. “The level of violence… this was no ordinary low-level gang member.”

The sheriff told the newspaper that several of the victims, including a mother and child, were shot in the head by the attackers.

The sheriff said it looked like the mother was trying to escape when she and her son were killed.

Arriving at the scene, the police found the baby in her mother’s arms in a ditch near the house.

Officials say the site was raided last week, resulting in the arrest of one person and the seizure of weapons, marijuana and methamphetamine.

The sheriff said the nature of the attack suggested they were looking for two experienced killers.

“If [they] specifically they shoot everyone in the head, they know what they are doing … [and] they are comfortable with what they are doing,” the sheriff told The Los Angeles Times.

Goshen is a semi-rural community of about 3,000 located 35 miles southeast of Fresno in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley.
