CNN —Authorities in southern California have arrested five men in connection to the grisly killings of six people discovered shot – and some of whom were also burned – last week in a remote area of the Mojave Desert.
The killings appear to be connected to illegal marijuana, authorities said, though they did not release many details, as the case is being reviewed by the district attorney’s office.
Warrick said the man told them in Spanish he had been shot but did not know where he was.
Authorities served multiple search warrants throughout the investigation and recovered several firearms and other evidence, the news release said.
“We are confident that this appears to be a dispute over marijuana, which resulted in the murders,” Warrick said.
