A family member of three people killed at a Los Angeles home says the female suspect had been staying with one of the victims but had been asked to leave.

Police arrested 55-year-old Nancy Jackson on suspicion of murder after the bodies were found Tuesday in the Leimert Park neighborhood.

The victims have been identified as 62-year-old Phillip White, his mother, 77-year-old Orsie Carter, and her husband, 82-year-old William Carter. All three victims suffered blunt force trauma to the head, while White and his mother were also shot.

Police have not named a possible motive. Jackson is being held without bail. It wasn’t immediately known if she has an attorney.
