HESPERIA — A man and a woman were shot and killed after an assault on an elderly man in his home here early Thursday morning, officials said.

At about 3:35 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call to the house in the 17000 block of Adobe Street.

At the scene, “deputies were advised that a shooting had occurred when a resident in the home was awakened by the elderly homeowner calling out for help while being assaulted by Raymond Santana and Arlin Lamas,” authorities said in a press release.

The resident in the house, who also reported the incident, came to the elderly man’s aid, and “a shooting occurred, striking Santana and Lamas.”

Sheriff's officials did not confirm whether the resident shot the two.

Santana, 42, died at the scene. Lamas, 28, was transported to a local hospital where she later died. Both were residents of Victorville and did not live at the residence, officials said.

The elderly male received multiple injuries but did not require medical attention, the release stated.

Sheriff’s spokesperson Jodi Miller said the two did not break into the house.

No arrests were made. The report was submitted to the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office for review.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call the Specialized Investigations Division, Detective Oscar Godoy at 909-387-3589. Persons wishing to remain anonymous can contact the WeTip hotline at 1-800-782-7463 or visit www.WeTip.com.
