Three kids were found fatally stabbed at an apartment in Los Angeles Saturday morning, authorities said.
Patrol officers responded to the 8000 block of Reseda Blvd for a radio call involving a possible death at one of the apartments at about 9:30 a.m. local time. Police officers discovered three children at scene after they went inside the apartment, the Los Angeles Police Department said on its Twitter account.
The three children, all appear to be under the age of 5 years old, were pronounced deceased at scene, according to the department.
Local media had originally reported that the victims were under the age of 3 years old, citing police sources.
The young victims were first found by their grandmother, NBC Los Angeles television station reported.
Police said a 30-year-old female Hispanic, Liliana Carrillo, was identified as a person of interest in this case. Some local news outlets reported that Carrillo is the mother of the three kids.
Police asked for the public's help via social media platforms in locating the woman who was reportedly just committed a carjacking in the Bakersfield area in the north of Los Angeles and might be driving in a stolen silver Toyota pickup.
About an hour later, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Carrillo has been taken into custody in the Ponderosa area of Tulare County in Central California.
The cause of death has yet to be determined, as well as a motive, said police.
