Mina said the man who shot them, Shavell Jones, 23, is in the hospital getting surgery for a gunshot wound to the head. Mina said if Jones survives, he will be charged with murder.
Investigators said Jones was in a relationship with one of the daughters who was killed. Mina said Jones and the woman got into an argument and Jones started removing his stuff from the home before he came back inside and started shooting.
