25-Year-Old Arrested in Lodi Triple Homicide

San Joaquin County authorities have arrested Steven Guerrero Jr. for a triple homicide that occurred in Lodi on June 8. The victims, found dead from gunshot wounds, were discovered during a welfare check after family members couldn't reach them for over a week. Despite initial claims that Guerrero knew the victims and the act was targeted, conflicting statements from the District Attorney later suggested no relationship existed between the suspect and victims. The Sheriff's Office defended the delay in publicizing the murders, citing the need to protect the investigation's integrity. Guerrero faces multiple charges, including three counts of murder, burglary, and a firearm enhancement, and made his first court appearance on Tuesday.
