Child finds mom, dad and babysitter shot to death: police

A 6-year-old girl found her parents and babysitter dead in what cops say was a tragic double murder-suicide in Minnesota.

Neighbors say the child retued home from school Thursday to find the dead bodies – and ran from the Oakdale house screaming, the Star-Tribune reported.

According to the paper, the distraught little girl yelled "Mommy, daddy dead! Mommy, daddy dead!"

Neighbors quickly called police.

The deceased, who were shot to death, were later identified as Cintia Guadalupe Oelas Bustos, 28; Jaime Anival Almaras Velasquez, 32 and Angela Uscanda Gonzalez, 43, according to the paper.

Cops think that  Velasquez shot the two women before tuing the gun on himself.

Gonzalez was the child’s babysitter. In addition to the little girl, the family had two boys, ages 3 and 8. The younger boy was reportedly inside the house when the shooting occurred and the 8 year old was outside.

Authorities told the paper they expect the children will be put into foster care. They are currently staying with relatives.

"When I heard the child found the bodies it really did break my heart," Washington County Attoey Pete Orput said. "I don't know what it would be like walking in to see your mom and dad dead. That's something that child will never get out of her head, ever."

The gruesome crime rocked the small community that has only had two homicides in the past 25 years.

Police told WCCO-TV that Uscanga has three adult children and was a dedicated nanny.

"She was a devoted Christian woman," her nephew, Freddy Cortez-Uscanga told the TV station. "She loved children which is why she became a nanny. She was a good caring and respectful person."
