BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The Kern County Coroner's office has released the names of three people found dead inside a home in south Bakersfield on Monday night.

Officials say 30-year-old Luis Carlos Jimenez, 36-year-old April Trujillo Salinas, and 17-month-old Mercedes Jimenez were located by deputies around 6:15 p.m. in the 1900 block of South M Street.

Investigators say all three had gunshot wounds to the body, with the adult male having what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officials say April Salinas was the mother of the child, but was unsure of the relationship with Jimenez.
