Philadelphia police have found triplets reported missing in a homicide case. According to CBS Philadelphia, 39-year-old Maisah Larkin was discovered dead in her living room with multiple headshot wounds on Sunday evening.
Police issued an Amber alert for her 2-year-old triplets, last seen with 37-year-old Stanley Baptiste.
Fox29 reports Baptiste is the children’s father. In a now-deleted tweet, according to CBS Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Police Department notified residents of the missing toddlers.
“PHILADELPHIA COUNTY: Missing Endangered Person Advisory. The Philadelphia PD is searching for Jari, Jasmine and Journey Baptiste. Call 911 if seen.”
The police stated the children were at “special risk of harm or injury” with Baptiste, according to CBS Philadelphia.
Their search then spread to nearby Lansdale, Pennsylvania, where Baptiste lived.
Fox 29 reports that police discovered Baptiste driving in a Lincoln Navigator. After he stopped the car, police found him with self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound.
The children were not in the car, and police found them safe at a Lansdale home.
Sources report that domestic violence was an issue in the parents’ relationship, according to Fox 29.
The case is under open investigation.
