Sheriff’s deputies with the Walnut Station responded to a call just before 10 p.m. of an assault with a deadly weapon at a house in the 1500 block of Kiowa Crest on Friday, the department said. They found Ho and Edward Kwan unresponsive inside.

Ho had been fatally stabbed, Dean said. Kwan was shot and stabbed, he said. The two were pronounced dead at the scene.
