Here’s What Allegedly Happened To The California Man’s Parents
According to the outlet, Gerdvil lived in a “double-wide mobile home” with his parents, 79-year-old Antoinette Gerdvil and 77-year-old Tonald Walter Gerdvil.

CBS News reports that Gerdvil decapitated and mutilated his parents’ bodies, along with their pet chihuahua, on July 9, around 7:30 a.m. Shortly after, deputies arrived at the residence to discover the gruesome scene.

Around 7:42 a.m., officers reportedly received another call that a “bloody male” was chasing a maintenance worker nearby.

“Our dispatchers updated them that there was a bloody male chasing a maintenance worker in that same neighborhood,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Matthew Parrish reportedly explained. “The deputies immediately started looking for that male. A short time later that person was located… shortly after that person was located an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

USA Today reports that it is unclear how many shots were fired at the 41-year-old. However, the suspect was later transferred to a hospital in stable condition before being taken into police custody.
