California mom, 17, was fleeing scene of massacre when she and baby boy were ... trends now

A young mother was trying to flee the scene of a horrific massacre with her 10-month-old baby boy when a gunman stood over them and 'fired rounds into their heads', California cops have revealed.

Alissa Parraz, 17, was found dead in a ditch, still cradling her baby Nycholas, near the home where four of her family members were also killed in Goshen, a small farming town roughly 220 miles southeast of San Francisco, on Monday.

California cops are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two gunmen, who they believe could be part of a gang or cartel.

At a press conference, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said the massacre was a deliberate attack on the family. 'None of this was an accident. It was deliberate, intentional and horrific,' he said.

Detectives say Alissa was trying to flee the shooters when she was chased down the street and shot repeatedly in the head, along with her infant son

Investigators believe a gang or drug cartel targeted the family. Deputies had recently conducted a drug-related search warrant at the same home.

'These people were clearly shot in the head and they were also shot in places where the shooter would know that a quick death would occur,' said the sheriff. 'This is also similar to high-ranking gang affiliation and the style of executions that they commit.'

The massacre unfolded around 3.30am on Monday at a family home in Goshen.

Deputies responding to reports of multiple shots fired found two victims dead in the street and a third person fatally shot in the doorway of the residence, Boudreaux said.
