One of two people found dead in south Modesto home identified
One of the people found dead in a south Modesto home following a shooting on Thursday morning has been identified.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department was called to the home in the 800 block of Inyo Avenue shortly after 5 a.m. when a 46-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds ran from his home to a neighbor’s house seeking help.
That man was taken to a hospital and remains in critical condition.
Deputies surrounded the house and used a PA system to try to communicate with anyone inside the home where the 46-year-old man was shot.
After getting no response for at least two hours, a SWAT team entered the home and found two people dead. The Sheriff’s Office identified one as 41-year-old Jason Flores and the other as an elderly woman who has not been identified.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine how Flores and the woman died.
A staff member at the Apostolic Jubilee Center, which is adjacent to the home, told The Bee a woman estimated to be in her early 70s and two adult sons lived at the home for about 10 years.
