California sheriff announces arrests in brutal mass homicide

Law enforcement on Friday announced the arrest of two suspects in the brutal mass homicide that shocked California and the country last month.

The Tulare County Sheriff’s Department said in a release that it had arrested “35-year-old Angel Uriarte of Goshen and 25-year-old Noah Beard of Visalia” for “the heinous murders of six people, including a 10-month-old baby, on January 16th."

Police on that date responded to a call at a small house in Goshen, Calif., to find the six victims killed execution-style. 

Footage obtained from the house showed 16-year-old Alissa Parraz dropping her 10-month-old baby Nycholas over a fence and then climbing a fence herself in an attempt to evade the killers; both were found dead with bullets in their heads. 

Both suspects “were well known validated Surreno gang members,” the sheriff’s department said of the arrest.
