Neo Nazi kills family

May 3, 2012

Five people found dead at a Gilbert home and the killer is reportedly JT Ready. JT was a will known white supremacist and was going to run for Pinal County Sheriff at one point. Numerous police officers and ambulances were dispatched to the area of Warner and Cooper Rds in Gilbert about 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday due to reports of shots fired. JT had been living with his girlfriend Lisa Mederos for the last two years.

In Lisa’s home JT Ready apparently shot and killed 47-year-old Lisa Mederos, Lisa’s daughter 23-year-old Amber Mederos, Amber’s 24-year-old fiance Jim Hoitt, and Amber’s 16 month old daughter Lilly, according to a law enforcement source. Lilly was found still alive, but she died at the hospital. We’ve learned another daughter of Lisa’s, a 19-year-old, is alive and was the one that found the blood bath.

This information has not officially been released by the Gilbert Police.

Ready is dead, however it is not clear whether his death wound was self-inflicted, “as there is multiple weapons on scene,” an official said. There were reports of domestic violence between Ready and his girlfriend earlier that day.

Several drums of an unknown liquid were found in the back of the home. Hazmat crews were securing the scene Wednesday night and detectives were not able to go in until 10 p.m. to gather evidence and remove the bodies. In the chemicals current state they did not pose any threat and no homes were evacuated.
“If I had any inkling that this guy was violent or anything like that, there’s no way they would’ve stayed there, my daughters wouldn’t have put one foot in that house… I regret not even looking into it,” said Hugo Mederos who was Lisa’s ex- husband.

It’s not yet clear what the motive may have been. The FBI and other agencies are assisting in the investigation.
What are your thoughts? Why were there so many dead and so many weapons?
