On Thursday, a murder-suicide attempt in Santa Ana resulted in the deaths of two victims: 25-year-old Jordan Block and 64-year-old Brian Martin. The circumstances surrounding their tragic demise were later revealed following the violent attacks.
According to authorities, Block, who had called 911, was visiting her uncle Martin at a unit within a business complex when her boyfriend arrived. In a fit of rage, he ended up stabbing both Block and Martin, resulting in their untimely deaths. Despite the police arriving promptly after receiving the distress call, they discovered the victims already deceased.
Those who knew Martin described him as friendly and even taught women’s self-defense classes. His collection of ancient swords was well-known, with one found bloodied outside the garage in the aftermath of the incident. It is still unclear what motivated the attack on these two innocent victims.
The suspect, Jordan’s boyfriend, was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was in critical condition as of Friday afternoon. The investigation into the motive behind this heinous act is ongoing.
