Police say 3 victims shot to death in murder, suicide

DARIEN, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say they have determined three family members whose bodies were found in a home in west suburban Chicago were victims of murder and a suicide.

In a statement released Monday, the Darien Police Department announced its investigation concluded 33-year-old Bourk Esho and 7-year-old Olivia Esho were shot to death by 42-year-old Olasunkanmi Esho of Chicago. Olasunkanmi Esho, who was the husband and father of the victims, then turned the gun on himself.

The victims' bodies were found June 10 by officers responding to a call of shots fired.

Police Cmdr Gerald Piccoli said the investigation is still ongoing and didn't immediately respond to requests for more information.
