Mother, daughter slain, killer commits suicide
Walter Garcia, 37, was the man identified as stabbing his ex-wife and ex-mother in law to death in Tujunga yesterday morning, then killing himself in a very public way by plunging off a bridge over the Arroyo Seco in Pasadena. His ex-wife was 35-year-old Damaris Quiles. Her mother was identified as Carmen Quiles, 73.
The stabbings occurred around 8:45 a.m. yesterday in the 6800 block of Quinton Lane.
Garcia and Damaris Quiles were likely arguing over a restraining order that Quiles requested a couple weeks ago. And it boiled over into the streets of Tujunga, outside the home. The mother, Carmen Quiles was stabbed apparently when she came out to intervene.
