A 23-year-old man, Kyle Chester De Los Reyes, has been arrested and is being held without bail for allegedly stabbing three of his family members to death in Baldwin Park, California. The tragic incident occurred on the evening of December 26, 2023, at approximately 6:48 p.m. in the city of Pomona, Los Angeles County.
The victims of this brutal attack have been identified as Paul Sebastian Manangan, 16, Rona Nate, 44, and Chantelle Narvaez, 8. The relationship between De Los Reyes and the victims has not yet been fully disclosed, nor have authorities confirmed a clear motive for the killings. Details surrounding the incident remain limited as investigators work to uncover the circumstances leading to the tragic deaths.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman released a statement following the arrest, condemning the violence and promising that his office would do everything in its power to ensure justice for the victims. Hochman emphasized the emotional toll such violent crimes take on families and communities, stating, “Violent crime not only robs us of innocent lives but also threatens the very fabric of our community. Let this be a clear message: those who commit heinous acts of violence will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”
The investigation into the case is ongoing as law enforcement authorities search for answers, but for now, the Baldwin Park community is left in shock by the loss of three innocent lives. It remains unclear whether De Los Reyes will face additional charges or if there are any further details regarding his motive and state of mind at the time of the killings.
