The victims were identified as 8-month-old Aroohi Dheri; her mother Jasleen Kaur, her father Jasdeep Singh, and her uncle Amandeep Singh. Meanwhile, 48 year old Jesus Salgado has been charged with these killings and officials say he once worked for the family’s trucking business and has had arguments with them in the past. They believe this was all over money. Police say a second person could be involved in the kidnapping and killings as well.
