Authorities have identified the victims of a triple homicide in far western Wisconsin, and believe the three men likely knew their killer or killers.
The La Crosse County Sheriff’s Office says the bodies of 24-year-old Peng Lor, 24-year-old Nemo Yang and 23-year-old Trevor Maloney were discovered shortly before 5 a.m. Friday by two workers of the Milestone Quarry. Investigators say they believe the victims were killed either late Thursday night or early Friday.
The quarry is located near West Salem, about 14 miles (23 kilometers) northeast of La Crosse, which is along the Minnesota border.
La Crosse County Sheriff Jeff Wolf has called the deaths a “targeted act” but has not said how the men died. The sheriff’s office on Sunday said investigators believe the men and their killer or killers were acquainted, but they didn’t specify how they might have known each other.
Investigators are working to see if any cameras recorded vehicles in the area during the time frame when the men died.
