According to San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jodi Miller, two of those nine were pronounced dead on Saturday, while a third died the following day. The cause of these deaths remains unknown.
The coroner’s division has now revealed the names and ages of those who lost their lives - Derek Lee, aged 22, Alyssa Dominguez, aged 21 and Roxanne Ngo, aged 22.
