On Thursday, a murder-suicide attempt occurred in Santa Ana that resulted in the deaths of two victims. The victims have been identified as Jordan Block, 25, and Brian Martin, 64. It is believed that the woman’s boyfriend is responsible for the violent attacks.
Jordan had been visiting her uncle Martin at a unit within a business complex when her boyfriend arrived. According to authorities, the niece called 911 to report that her boyfriend had stabbed her and her uncle. Unfortunately, when police arrived on the scene, they found both victims already deceased.
The woman who rents a unit inside the business complex described Brian Martin as cordial to all tenants. In addition to being friendly, Martin was also known for teaching women’s self-defense classes and had a conscientious nature. He had a large collection of ancient swords, one of which was found bloodied outside the garage.
Inside the unit, officers discovered Jordan’s boyfriend with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was in critical condition as of Friday afternoon. The motive for the attack remains under investigation at this time.
