Who Is Angela Flores? West Hills Mother Facing Three Counts Of Murder
As mentioned earlier, Angela Flores is a mother who is facing three counts of murder after reportedly killing her own twin sons and a daughter. Her teen son was also arrested in connection with the murder of his three siblings but he was later released.
Because the second suspect is a minor, an agency spokeswoman declined to name him, but Fox 11 stated that he is Flores’ teenage son, who was spotted rushing to a neighbor’s house before police arrived.
Flores’ three other children reside with their father out of state and were unharmed. The identity of the three deceased youngsters remained pending, according to a spokesman from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.
After receiving a complaint regarding an attack with a dangerous weapon, police were dispatched to Flores’ residence in the 22000 block of Victory Boulevard in the West Hills district of LA at about 7:40 a.m. Sunday.

How Did Explore Angela Flores Kill Her Three Children?
Angela Flores, the suspected murderer was arrested after her three young children were found dead in their Los Angeles home over the weekend. She was taken to jail and transferred to a hospital for a mental health assessment.
According to a statement from the LAPD, “Flores admitted to killing her children with the assistance of the 16-year-old subject” during the investigation.
The teenager, who has not yet been identified, was also booked on one count of murder. The 16-year-old “is being held without bail at Sylmar Juvenile Hall,” the LAPD said.
The children were found dead Sunday morning, on Mother’s Day, but it’s not yet clear when they were killed.
Neighbors say Flores was yelling and acting erratically outside the home Saturday night. The last time they saw her leaving the home was for her trip to the hospital in an ambulance Saturday night.
One of those neighbors, Stephen Hayes, said he didn’t know the family well, but had seen them in the neighborhood and thought it was a “nice young family.”
“They looked really nice… just normal people,” Hayes said.
“Now they’re dead,” Hayes said.
Another neighbor, Iman Bani, lamented the tragedy, for a family that moved into the home just a couple of months ago.
“Especially on this mother’s day… I’m also a pastor, and I just pray for the relief of the family, and the remaining family,” Bani said.
Three lit candles were visible near the home early on Monday morning, in an apparent vigil to the three children killed.
The incident is under investigation.
