\u201cOur family is experiencing a heartbreaking loss that words cannot adequately express,\u201d wrote Marisa Jimenez in a GoFundMe raising money for funeral and memorial expenses. \u201cThe devastating circumstances surrounding this tragedy have left our family shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Saturday morning, more than $26,000 of the $30,000 goal had been raised from 544 donations.<\/p>\n

Joaquin Escoto, 28, is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the knife slaying of 23-year-old \u201cdevoted mother\u201d Fabiola Gonzalez, 54-year-old \u201cloving grandmother\u201d Silvia Nu\u00f1ez and \u201cinnocent\u201d infant Mateo Gonzalez. Escoto allegedly had a child with one of the woman, according to police.<\/p>\n

Police responded to a home near Monterey and Thrasher avenues in Modesto following a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance on Thursday morning. They found 23-year-old Gonzalez dead with with multiple stab wounds. Officers later also found Nu\u00f1ez and baby Mateo dead with stab wounds, too.<\/p>\n

A 4-year-old child found inside the home was alive and taken to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Escoto was later found hiding inside a nearby house, and video\u00a0posted on the Stockton Chronicle TikTok page\u00a0showed him being taken into custody without incident. Police did not identify a motive for the murders.<\/p>\n

In addition to the murders, Escoto was booked into county jail for using a deadly weapon and an outstanding warrant related to a prior DUI case.<\/p>\n

The California Post exclusively reported that California\u2019s controversial state sanctuary law\u00a0obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him after a DUI arrest in June. Prior to that, the Mexican national born in Jalisco was deported from the U.S. three times and had a previous DUI arrest already.<\/p>\n

Jimenez described Nu\u00f1ez as \u201ca loving grandmother whose kindness and strength touched everyone around her\u201d and who also loved her family deeply. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

She remembered Gonzalez as a \u201cdevoted\u201d mother and daughter who \u201cbrought joy and love\u201d to friends and family and loved her children \u201cendlessly.\u201d While for the baby, he was \u201can innocent child whose life was taken far too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pictures were shared of the victims in key life moments, such as a school graduation, pregnancy photos and what appears to be the birth of Mateo.<\/p>\n

In addition to funeral expenses, the family is seeking money for counseling and support services and asked those unable to give to keep them in their prayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will forever remain in our hearts and will never be forgotten,\u201d the fundraiser stated.<\/p>\n
