Disturbing Details Emerge in Murder-Suicide that Left 3 Young Siblings Dead

Georgia police released the identities of the three children and the suspect found dead Wednesday inside a parked car after a "possible murder-suicide."

The children discovered in the vehicle were siblings: Arianny Rodriguez,13; Chadal Rodriguez, 11; and 9-year-old Carlos Rodriguez, according to the Gwinnett County Police.

The suspect has been identified as Jose Plasencia, 56, of Norcross, Ga.

Plasencia and the children's mother, Karina Rodriguez, had previously been in a relationship together and shared another child together. He was not the father of the children killed.

Hours before the murder-suicide, Plasencia met with the victims' mother, her three children and the child they shared at a local hospital, according to the police. The child they shared need medical attention.

"After some time, the mother agreed to let the three children go with the suspect to grab a bite to eat while she remained at the hospital," the Gwinnett County Police said in a statement.

Shortly after 1 a.m., an officer found Plasencia and the three children dead inside of a car at Lucky Shoals Park in Tucker along the pedestrian trail.

The officer had called out to the people inside of the car but received no response. The officer went to investigate and discovered the four bodies inside.

The Gwinnett County Police are calling the incident a "possible murder-suicide."

A GoFundMe was set up for the children by their mother. She is seeking help with the funeral expenses for her "little angels." She wants to be able to send the three children to the Dominican Republic and provide them with a "Christian burial."

"I am devastated with my heart in pieces," she wrote. "My world was my children, and I was mother and father to them so that they never lacked anything."
