After returning to the scene, officers found another person inside the home whom had been shot. The second victim, only identified so far as a 65-year-old woman, died of her injuries after she was taken to an area hospital.
After receiving information that a 6-month-old baby should have been in the home, police searched but were unable to locate the infant. Authorities later determined Peace, 31, was reportedly involved in the homicides and had fled with the baby in a white SUV. The child, who may be Love's son, was later located unharmed San Diego police said.
The 37-year-old victim is the baby's mother and the 65-year-old woman is the infant's grandmother, police said. The shooting victims have been identified, but police have not yet identified them, pending notification of the next of kin.
