Los Angeles police are continuing their investigation today into the murder-suicide of a Wilmington man and his family.
Human rights leaders led a candlelight vigil Tuesday night outside the home where 40-year-old Ervin Lupoe shot and killed his wife and five young children, including two sets of twins. In front of the two-story home, with the family vehicles still parked in the driveway, about 30 mostly Latino mourners gathered and repeated the rosary in Spanish.
A white poster with black writing read: "Rest in Peace Family Lupoe," and Santeria candles and teddy bears crowded a corner of the driveway. Myrna Navarro, 35, who lives across the street from the Lupoe home, said that the family moved in when their eldest daughter, Brittney, was a baby and the two sets of twins had not yet been born. Navarro said she heard about the shootings while at work in Redondo Beach.
"I was just in shock, my body, I just got the goosebumps," she said.
