A teenage mother and her 10-month-old baby were fatally shot in the head “assassination style” in an attack that left six people dead in central California.<\/p>\n

Authorities received a call at 3.38am on Monday about multiple shots being fired at a residence in Goshen, a town some 170 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Police said a gunman fired multiple rounds into the skull of 17-year-old Alissa Parraz and killed her child, Nycholas, as they tried to run away from the attack.<\/p>\n

The other four victims, who are all related, ranged from 19 to 72 years old, including Ms Parazz’s grandmother who was shot as she slept.<\/p>\n

Police are looking into whether a gang or drug cartel targeted the family and are on the hunt for two suspects.<\/p>\n

Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said a forensics investigation revealed that Ms Parrazz tried to run away but the gunman stood over her and fired multiple rounds at her.<\/p>\n

He said: “It is very clear that this family was a target.<\/p>\n

“None of this was by accident\u2026It was deliberate, intentional and horrific,” he said at a news conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Home linked to gangs and drugs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He added that there was “no reason” for the gunmen to kill the young mother and her child.<\/p>\n

Authorities said they were searching for two suspects and offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to their arrests.<\/p>\n

Mr Boudreaux said that the home is linked to gangs and drugs, but on Tuesday he walked back his earlier comments that the violence was likely a cartel hit, saying that investigators are still looking into that possibility.<\/p>\n

The sheriff cited gang activity that occurred in the past at the home, but said not everyone who was shot was a drug dealer or gang member.<\/p>\n

Samuel Pina, Ms Parazz’s grandfather, said: “I can’t wrap my head around what kind of monster would do this.”<\/p>\n

He said the teenager and her baby were living with her father’s side of the family and that her father’s uncle, her father’s cousin, her grandmother and her great-grandmother were also killed.<\/p>\n

Three survived attack<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The teenager, her grandmother and the baby are among the victims believed to be innocent.<\/p>\n

The other four victims were: Rosa Parraz aged 72, Eladio Parraz, Jr. aged 52, Jennifer Analla, aged 49 and Marcos Parraz, aged 19.<\/p>\n

Three people survived the attack and will be interviewed by police.<\/p>\n

Mr Boudreaux said Mr Parazz Jr, a convicted felon, was not the “initially intended target” and declined to elaborate.<\/p>\n

Goshen is a central California community of about 3,000 residents in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley.<\/p>\n
