A man apparently upset about his job situation killed his wife and five children before committing suicide at their home, according to Los Angeles police. The children included an 8-year-old girl, two 5-year-old twin girls and two 2-year-old twin boys. The man is believe to be Ervin Antonio Lupoe, 40.

Either before or after the slayings, the man faxed a two-page typewritten letter to KABC-TV and the police department’s communications division, Garner said. The Burbank-based television station called police, Garner said. “Obviously he wanted somebody to find the bodies,” Garner said. “In the note, he clearly said he was going to kill himself, his wife and his kids.”
The bodies were discovered in the 1000 block of MacFarland Avenue. Wilmington is a community adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles.
