CHULUOTA, Fla. (AP) - Authorities in Florida have released the person of interest and named the woman and two men who were killed at a home near Orlando.

Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said on Sunday the victims were 61-year-old Margaret Amato, 59-year-old Chad Amato and 31-year-old Cody Amato. They appear to be related to Grant Amato, a 29-year-old man who was sought and detained Saturday as a person of interest.

Amato has since been released but is said to be cooperating.
