Indianapolis, April 22 -Police discovered three bodies in a house on West Penway Street Friday evening. Now, they want to find the ex-boyfriend of one of those victims.
Authorities on Saturday identified the three dead as 54-year-old Delores Taylor, her daughter 29-year-old Angelic Sanders and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Martin Richardson.
Police are looking for a former boyfriend of Sanders, Raymond Strominger, as a suspect in the case.
Indianapolis Police Detective Tom Tudor told Eyewitness News, "(Sanders) broke off that relationship some time ago and the information we are getting is the suspect was totally obsessed with her. He was stalking her recently and there is an active protective order that she did obtain."
In the quiet community of bungalows near 38th and Georgetown Road, neighbors can't believe the horrific details of the crime.
Three people bound and shot dead, and the killer also tied up his former girlfriend's 7-year-old son but allowed him to live.
"I just could not believe it. I have lived here for 25 years and nothing has ever happened to my knowledge," said neighbor Glenn Noe.
As for the seven-year-old who lost his mother and grandmother - Detective Jesse Beavers says he is coping, "He's a very intelligent young man and he is upbeat but as we get into details about what happened he regresses and we have told the family he is going to need counseling."
Police believe Strominger broke in through the back door of the house, tied up the victims using plastic cuff ties and duct tape and then used several weapons to kill them.
Now authorities want to bring the suspect to justice.
Raymond Strominger is described as a white male, six foot two inches in height, weighing between 350 and 400 pounds. He was last seen driving a black or blue Ford F-150 pickup truck.
