Three people were found dead inside a home in South Dallas on Monday afternoon and a fourth person was hospitalized in critical condition.

"I think that stunned the whole neighborhood, that that happened right here in our neighborhood," said neighbor Willie Beck.

Officers were called to a home on the 2700 block of Burger Avenue, where four people had been found unconscious inside the home.

Dallas Fire-Rescue pronounced three of the people dead at the scene. A fourth person was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

On Tuesday, the Dallas County Medical Examiner identified one of the victims as 31-year-old Martin Rodela Jr.

Neighbors told NBC 5 they witnessed what appeared to be a party in the area in the hours leading up to the discovery.
