A resident of La Canada Flintrige is suspected of attacking his wife and murdering his two nephews in their Arcadia home, according to an investigator at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 

The apparent murder scene was discovered by the mother of the two boys, aged 15 and 16. The woman reportedly found her 15 years old son lifeless in the living room before finding her 16 years old son lifeless in his third-floor bedroom. Both boys suffered blunt-force traumas to their upper torsos and were pronounced dead at the scene of the crime.

The suspect, a 44 years old man named Deyun Shi, is confirmed to have fled the country on a flight to Beijing. He is currently wanted on suspicion of the murder of his teenage nephews and the attempted murder of his wife.

Shi reportedly went on rampage after finding out that his wife wanted to file for divorce. She had apparently filed a restraining order against him on Thursday. But, on Friday, Shi decided to break into the home he formerly shared with his wife.

Early on Friday morning, the boys' parents left the home to visit their father's sister. When they returned at 5am, they did not notice anything unusual. But, a few hours later, the mother found her sons lifeless.

The victims' names were not released due to the fact that the two boys are still considered minors in The United States, but it was confirmed that both boys were born in the United States and are of Chinese descent. 

Sheriff's Homicide Bureau Lt. Eddie Hernandez spoke to the media and said that apprehending the suspect will be a lot of work because The United States currently does not have any extradition treaty with China.
