SOUTHLAND : 3 Men Bound, Slain in Tustin
The bodies of three young men, each bound and shot execution style, were found this morning in the back room of an automotive parts store, police said.
There was no sign of robbery or forced entry at the Super Shops store at the intersection of Tustin Avenue and First Street, said Tustin Police Lt. Houston Williams.
The bodies were found about 9 a.m. by an unidentified day manager in a storage area at the rear of the store. Police said that the victims’ hands were bound in front of them and that they appeared to have been shot at close range in the head with a handgun.
Some or all of the victims, ranging in age from their late teens to early 20s, may have been employees at the store, police said.
