Salvador Velasquez, 39, is accused of murdering his sons' mother, 36-year-old Esmeralda Casillas and their grandmother, 68-year-old Ofelia Casillas, after a child custody exchange.
The man accused of murdering the mother and grandmother of his two young sons faced a judge Wednesday afternoon in downtown Riverside.
Salvador Velasquez, 39, is accused of murdering the boys' mother, 36-year-old Esmeralda Casillas and their grandmother, 68-year-old Ofelia Casillas. The incident unfolded on Saturday, Nov. 18 just before 8 p.m. near the intersection of Eucalyptus Avenue and the Old Highway 215 in Moreno Valley. The location was apparently the agreed-upon halfway point for a child custody exchange involving the two twin boys, who are both 7."Shortly after that custody exchange, the suspect returned to the victims' vehicle, and shot the victim, which is the biological mother ... and the maternal grandmother," said Sgt. Brandi Swan with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.Within days, detectives located Velasquez at his home in Coachella, along with the two children.
"Our heart goes out to the family of those two victims who died," said Swan. "And also the young boys, who are without a mother and grandmother and potentially a father if he is found guilty."Velasquez remains in jail without bail.
