Father Suspected Of Killing His Son, Injuring 5 Family Members

Ian Roderiquez, 35, faced questioning Thursday, a day after deputies responded to a 911 call by a neighbor who reported a man inside their home screaming for help.

Roderiquez was booked into jail on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and torture, the sheriff-coroner’s department said in a statement.

His 16-year-old son, Richard Roderiquez, was pronounced dead at the scene. Sujal Roderiquez, 35, was hospitalized in critical condition, the statement said.

The other children — Jacob Roderiquez, 13, Gabriel Roderiquez, 12, Daniella Roderiquez, 10, and Yasmine Roderiquez, 8 — were hospitalized with multiple injuries, the sheriff-coroner’s statement said.

All were expected to survive and will be placed in the custody of Children and Family Services when they are released from the hospital.
