In a shocking turn of events, a 17-year-old boy, along with his mother and her boyfriend, have been arrested in connection with the brutal slaying of a family of four. The unidentified teenager has been charged with four counts of homicide, while his mother, 34-year-old Brynn Curtis, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Rafael Gonzalez, are facing accessory charges.

The horrifying crime took place in a home on South Church Avenue in Reedley, near Fresno, where victims Guadalupe "Kiki" Bonds, 44, and Billy Bonds, 81, were discovered dead on Saturday. Authorities later made the grim discovery of Billy's son, Darrell Bonds, 61, buried in a shallow grave in the backyard. Matthew Bonds, 43, was also found inside a detached garage at another location.

Police Chief Joe described the incident as "one of the most heinous crimes" he has encountered in his 30-year career. The victims had sustained severe and violent injuries, although the exact cause of death is yet to be confirmed by the coroner.

Investigations suggest that the 17-year-old did not act alone and had accomplices in addition to his mother and her boyfriend. Detectives suspect a possible motive involving stolen items taken from Billy's residence, which were subsequently found in the possession of the suspects. Notably, a gun safe believed to contain several firearms was discovered empty at the victims' home.

In a swift and determined response, police have obtained search warrants for residences in Parlier and Selma, where two vehicles were impounded. The investigations are ongoing, as authorities gather more evidence to unravel the full extent of the crime.

The 17-year-old remains in custody without bond, while Curtis and Gonzalez were released on bond following their arrest. Further details have emerged about the suspects' past, with Curtis having a previous arrest for DUI charges and Gonzalez having a prior drug-related arrest.

As the community grapples with the enormity of this tragedy, residents are left shocked and grieving for the loss of the Bonds family. The authorities continue to seek justice for the victims and ensure that all those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
