Oceanside Man Arrested For 'Horrific' Family Killing: Reports

An Oceanside man was arrested Friday in connection with a triple homicide of a Santa Barbara family of three that authorities have described as "horrific," according to multiple reports.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office announced the three deaths Thursday, saying that deputies had been called on a welfare check Wednesday night to the family's home.

Dr. Weidong Henry Han, his wife and their 5-year-old daughter were found dead, the office said. It did not not name a cause of death but said detectives were "working around the clock to determine who is responsible for this horrific crime."

Pierre Haobsh of Oceanside was arrested early Friday morning in connection with the killings, according to NBC San Diego.

Han and Haobsh were business associates, the TV station reported.

“This investigation is far from over,” Sheriff Bill Brown said, according to the LA Times. “It is complex and ongoing.”
