Three dogs were also shot dead. While the three were pronounced dead on the scene, Maquindang’s partner Matthew Montebello was also shot during the incident and died later in the hospital. After the police arrived at the house around 1 a.m. Saturday, firefighters were also dispatched to the home to extinguish a fire. No arrests have been made and no motives or cause of the fire have been publicly released. Asa-Ac also served as a legal guardian to two younger siblings who were at the house during the tragedy.The Maquindang family has started a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-christine-and-janvi?attribution_id=sl:1f993242-ee63-4d18-9f28-ll mlkko 5e7c11d062bf&amp;utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&amp;utm_medium=customer&amp;utm_source=copy_link">GoFundMe page</a> to help with the expenses and to help care for the surviving siblings. They called the crime a “senseless act of gun violence.”“The loss is overwhelming, and the pain of their absence is something we are struggling to bear every day,” the family said of the victims. They added that while the surviving siblings were unharmed in the incident, “the emotional and psychological toll on them is immeasurable.” “They need all the support we can offer as they cope with the loss of their sister and brother, and try to rebuild their lives in the wake of this tragedy,” the family said.<div> </div>
