Investigators said after they secured a search warrant for the home, they went inside and found the bodies of two females and another male.

The four victims have been identified as 46-year-old Samuel Dickson, 46-year-old Martiza Hurtado Dickson, 19-year-old Melissa Jilian Salazar, 14-year-old Taylor Dickson. All four victims had been shot to death, investigators said.

Nathanial Dickson has been charged with four counts of murder and other charges are pending, deputies said.

Deputies would not comment on a motive and said there are no other suspects in the case.
