An investigation is in progress following the discovery of six individuals shot to death in a remote desert area near El Mirage.
The bodies were found during a welfare check off Highway 395.
The circumstances and details about the victims, including their identities, remain unconfirmed.
The crime scene, approximately 15 miles north of Adelanto, is marked by evidence markers, bullet casings, and burned bodies.
Graphic images from the scene prompted caution in media coverage, revealing two vehicles, one with bullet holes, as investigators cordoned off the area.
The sheriff’s department is actively conducting the investigation.
