A landlord indentified as David Daniel is now facing murder charges in the fatal stabbings of his girlfriend and two of his tenants over unpaid house rents.
The 54-year-old is charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
Officials say the victims, two women, ages 51 and 55, and a 57-year-old man, were found inside the home on Milburn Street at around 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, ABC7 reports.
They were pronounced dead at the scene of apparent stab wounds.

The killings of the tenants appear to stem from a rent dispute that dates back to the coronavirus pandemic, although some rent appears to have been paid during that time.
Police found the two tenants in a basement bedroom and the suspect’s girlfriend in a bedroom upstairs.
The landlord then turned himself into the 113th precinct.
“Earlier this morning, a 54-year-old man walked into the 113th precinct, stating to uniformed police officers that he was having issues with his tenants, the officer inquired further, and the male stated further that he did something bad,” NYPD Assistant Chief Kevin Williams said on Tuesday.
