Police have identified the three people who were found dead inside a Springfield, Virginia, home in what they said appears to be a domestic shooting. A housekeeper found 38-year-old Meskerem Belachew Solomon, 31-year-old Amanuel Belachew Solomon and 47-year-old Tiku Berhane Gebreeyesus, in the basement of a home on the 8500 block of Wild Spruce Drive on Thursday afternoon.
All three males were missing since the previous day. The three had been shot in the upper body and were pronounced dead, a Fairfax County police news release said.
