Sanchez was the former girlfriend of one of the victims and they were involved in a child custody dispute over their son, court documents said. She told police that she and Maldonado broke into the home to rob it.
She said she didn’t know anyone was inside. Maldonado admitted shooting the victims, authorities said. Both suspects took a box in a closet they thought had money inside but turned out to be empty.
Authorities said police learned that popping sounds had been heard from the unit around 1 a.m. but no one called law enforcement.
