LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said there is believed to be a connection between the victims and the suspects.

There was a relationship between these individuals, they knew each other," Beck told KCAL9 on Wednesday. "This was not a group preying on strangers." The suspects were trying to retrieve property that they believed theirs, he said. 

According to the LAPD, the victims had been visiting friends at the house in the 17400 block of Devonshire Street when they were fatally shot around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. Neighbors had reported hearing screaming and gunshots and the victims were found outside the house, police said.
