Authorities are investigating an apparent murder-suicide that killed 3 people east of Elko late last month. 

Elko County Deputies were dispatched to the scene on Hopi Street in White Rock on January 31. 

When they arrived, they were contacted by other people were inside the home when the incident happened, just after 3:45 a.m. 

Deputies say an initial investigation revealed that 44-year-old Donald Vanhoy had murdered the other two and then killed himself.

They say one victim, 45-year-old Andrew Carpenter was shot while he was on the couch in the front room of the residence and they say the other victim, 47-year-old Tiffany Jordan, was stabbed multiple times while she was in the bathroom.

All three people were from Elko.
