Police took a 2-year-old girl from the scene of a murder-suicide in Sun Valley that left a man and a woman dead on Monday evening, Aug. 19.

The child was found unharmed inside the home in the 11200 block of Covello Street after neighbors reported gunfire at around 7 p.m., said Officer Mike Lopez, an LAPD spokesman.

“We’re all wondering what is going to happen to that poor baby,” said Jaime Vazquez, 42, a man who lives next door.

Police also found two bodies, a woman who was shot multiple times, and a man once.

The 2-year-old girl was found “in a very secure playpen with toys,” said Lt. Mike Kozak, a detective for LAPD’s Valley homicide unit.

“She looked well taken care of,” Kozak said. “She didn’t seem to know what was going on; obviously at that age, they really don’t know what’s going on.”

Police took the child to the North Hollywood station, where officers were looking after her. Neighbors said they had no other children.

Police said the woman killed was 39 years old. Her name, as well as the age and identity of the man found fatally shot, were not immediately made public.

Vazquez said the man and woman living at the crime scene were married and had shared the house in Sun Valley for more than 10 years. Other nearby residents said they mostly kept to themselves.

The woman became a stay-at-home mother after her daughter was born over two years ago, Vazquez said. Her husband recently lost his job, and police had been called to the couple’s home for a domestic dispute about five days ago, he said.

Fernando Renteria lives across the street from Monday evening’s crime scene, and said his father had met with the man involved in the shooting the night before it happened. He said his father urged his neighbor to seek professional help in dealing with his marital problems.
