Police have named two of the suspects charged in last weekend's Weston killings:

--  Howard Russell Roulette, age 25 from Winnipeg

--  Colton Richard Pachinose, age 18 from The Pas

--  A 15-year-old boy who cannot be identified under The Youth Criminal Justice Act

They each face three counts of first degree murder, and three counts off attempted murder.

The three accused are being held in custody.

The killings

The killings happened at a birthday party, at a house at 1398 block of Alexander Avenue. Police say around 4:00 a.m. Saturday, three masked people came into the house, two had guns - and they started shooting.

They killed 31-year-old Scott Lavallee, 22-year-old Corey Keeper, and 29-year-old Jennifer Ward.

Two men age 29 and 19, and a 41-year-old woman, were also shot, but are in stable condition.

There were 18 people in the house at the time - Evan Desjardins was hiding in the closet. He was at the home visiting a teenage friend. They were watching a movie upstairs when bullets started flying.

"I was just hoping they didn't come upstairs if they were raiding the whole house," he told CTV News. "I hoped they had just took off."

Minutes later his friends mom came running up the stairs.

"She told us to get his brother and sister," he said. "She had blood on her shirt and on her mouth. She was trying to give CPR to some of the people, people were crying -- freaking out."

Evan left the house without his shoes.

"I didn't want to get them 'cause there was like a dead person right there. I looked at him and the image is still in my head."

Isolated incident

Police confirm the men in custody are members of a street gang; but say that the victims of this crime were in no way connected to gangs or criminal activity, and that the incident seems to be isolated.

Police are still working on the motive; they say the house was 'targeted.'

One witness says that the shooters showed up to the party uninvited and were asked to leave earlier in the night.

On Saturday people in the neighborhood were still trying to understand what happened. A neighbor that did not want to be identified says the owner of the house was in the front yard around 4:00 a.m., hysterically screaming for help and repeating that people were dying in her home.

"All of last night felt like a dream," Desjardin said. "It doesn't even feel like reality."

These killings bring the number of Winnipeg homicides to nine this year. There has not been a triple homicide in Winnipeg since 1997.
