INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) ? Police were nearly certain Sunday that a man found dead at the property where five members of a Southern California family were shot ? two fatally ? was the killer because he was wearing body armor, clutching a handgun and had a bullet hole in his head.
The loaded handgun was a .38 caliber revolver registered to 55-year-old Desmond John Moses, who lived in a bungalow set ablaze before the deadly shooting spree at his neighbor's house in Inglewood, said Police Lt. James Madia.
The body, burned beyond recognition, was found inside the bungalow late Saturday and an autopsy will determine whether it is Moses.
The dead man had "what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head," wore body armor and carried additional ammunition in his pockets, a police statement said.
While police couldn't conclude that the body is that of Moses until the autopsy is concluded, "the evidence suggests this is the case," the statement added.
The shooting rampage before dawn Saturday killed 33-year-old Filimon Lamas and his 4-year-old son. The father was shielding three of his children when he was shot, Police Chief Mark Fronterotta said. Lamas' 28-year-old wife, Gloria Jiminez, was shot in both legs but managed to carry the wounded 4-year-old out of the house.
Paramedics found her collapsed on the street. The child, who suffered a bullet wound to the head, died at a hospital.
Investigators believe Moses set his own home ablaze before entering the family's home around 4 a.m. wearing a dark cap and a white painter's mask.
Authorities said he fired 10 times. In addition to the deaths of the father and child and injury to the mother, a 7-year-old girl was wounded in the chest and a 6-year-old boy suffered a bullet wound in the pelvis. An 8-year-old boy escaped injury.
The mother and daughter remained hospitalized in stable condition, Madia said. The 6-year-old boy was released.
Relatives said Lamas and Jiminez were high school sweethearts who recently got approval for a home loan, and were looking to buy a bigger house for their tight-knit family.
Authorities launched a manhunt and evacuated surrounding homes after the shooting rampage, but it wasn't until hours later that they found the charred body because it was hidden under layers of debris.
"He was kind of a hoarder or pack rat," Madia said.
Moses lived in the bungalow for 17 years, while the family lived in the front house for 8 years, he said.
Fronterotta would not discuss the nature of the dispute, but the property owner told the Los Angeles Times that Moses had been fighting an eviction notice and recently lost his case in court.
A woman who knew the family, Judy Castellanos, told the Times that the suspect was reclusive and would not let anyone look inside his home.
"He had been asked to leave by the end of this month," she told the newspaper.

Gold had moved up $200 since the move started in August, so it is only normal that investors would want to pull some profit off the table.? The Euro?s struggles have help the dollar firm because everyone runs to the U.S, dollar when other currencies are falling. This adds pressure on gold as you can see by the chart on your left. This game can be played for a while longer, but soon the dollar is going to get hit when the U.S. gets another downgrade due to the Congress? and the President?s financial ineptitude.
Silver walks in gold?s shadow, so it is no surprise that silver has fallen after nearing $35 per ounce to $32.07.? With all of the factors that are involved with this correction, silver?s slide should be taken as an opportunity to add to you holdings of physical silver. There is just no other way to look at it. Silver should be priced way higher than this and it will be as things play out in the market place. When investors are fearful and selling, you should step in and take advantage of the dips in the price of silver. Once gold breaks through $2,000 per ounce, you will look back on these days and beat yourself up if you failed to take advantage of the bargain prices that we are experiencing right now.? Sell on vertical moves up and buy the big dips.
Until the election is settled, the precious metals markets will be treading water with a bias to the downside. Gold has to be kept down so that the dollar looks viable, if Obama is to have any chance of a repeat of his 2008 deception. The odds are not looking so good for a socialist victory, but the numbers are close enough for voter fraud to tip the scales, if you believe the polls that the various mainstream media outlets are peddling. I personally feel that the American people are way smarter than the politicians think and they will do the right thing and correct the mistake that they made in 2008.? Either way, we are going to see some violent action in the markets in the months to come. Gold and silver will reflect that change, no matter which direction it takes.
