Detectives arrested a 34-year-old man Monday on suspicion of killing his father and attacking his mother and sister with a knife in West Hollywood, authorities said.

Jose Emanuel Raselbach is being held in lieu of $2 million bail after allegedly stabbing the three relatives about 10:30 p.m. Sunday on the 8700 block of Shoreham Drive, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

West Hollywood deputies responded to a call Sunday evening about a man with a knife and found the three victims with stab wounds. A Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman said she did not have information about who made the call. A knife was found at the scene.
