Police seek info about 5 homeless shot dead in Calif.

 Family members and friends seeking answers and solace descended Monday on a homeless encampment where five people were shot to death over the weekend, and police hoped an anonymous caller would come forward and say more.

“There is still a demon out there killing innocent people,” said Don Morgan, 58, who said he was friends with the victims but wasn’t homeless himself. “Satan was here that day.”

The bodies of three men and two women were found Sunday in the camp, which is between commercial buildings and the 405 Freeway and appears to be reachable only by a drainage channel.

Authorities have not released identities of the victims or a possible motive.

Ilager McMoore, 42, said his niece, Vanessa Malaepule, was one of the victims. He said police told him Malaepule was found under the body of her boyfriend, as though he tried to shield her during the shooting.
