Their bodies were found around 1 p.m. after police were asked by a co-worker of one of the residents to check on him because he had not shown up the last few days. Police were told it was "out of character" for him.



One of the responding officers radioed in: "Roll ambulance this way. We got people passed out. Don't know if they're dead or what. We'll make a forced entry too."



"About how many people you got down?" a dispatcher asks.



"So far we see just one down, but the neighbors say that there's six people living there," the officer says, then adds, "Send a sarge over here, it's a bloody mess."



The officer said a resident near the back door appeared to have been "stabbed multiple times." He had not yet checked the other bodies.



The family of the victims has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover funeral expenses.



"This has shocked and left their family, relatives and loved ones speechless and heartbroken as the household was nothing but a loving and gentle family that was always quiet," the family says on the website. "In the time of need the family asks for help in both prayers and donations to help send the bodies back to Mexico, where they would've wished to be buried.



"The donations given will help send the bodies to Mexico and help with the funerals and burying ceremonies of all six members," it adds. "God bless everyone, every little bit helps and is appreciated greatly."
