A neighbor had reportedly heard sounds believed to be gunshots the previous night and became increasingly concerned after the family did not respond and the teenager was not seen leaving for school the following morning. NBC 7 reported that the neighbor had regular access to the home because she frequently cared for the family’s dog.
Police have not publicly established who fired the shots or explained how the deaths occurred. Investigators are working to reconstruct the circumstances inside the residence, while the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office is expected to conduct autopsies to determine the official cause and manner of death.
Authorities have described the incident as isolated and said there was no evidence of forced entry or an ongoing threat to the surrounding community. Streets near the residence were expected to remain closed temporarily while detectives continued processing the scene.
The death of the teenage girl, who attended Pershing Middle School, has also affected the local school community. School officials informed families of the death of an eighth-grade student without publicly identifying her.
Funeral and memorial arrangements for David Voight, Amy Voight and their daughter were not available in the latest verified reports and will be announced by the family when released.
