Deputies in Orange County are investigating the deaths of a father and his teenage twins after a well-being check led them to a home in the Hunter's Creek area on September 30, 2026. Inside, authorities found 17-year-olds Carlo Montiel Infantino and Melanie Montiel Infantino dead in the living room, both stabbed several times, while their father, Ivan Montiel Roa, was discovered dead in the main bathroom.
Detectives believe Roa killed the twins and then died by suicide, according to WKMG ClickOrlando. The Orange County Sheriff's Office has characterized the case as an apparent homicide-suicide, and as reported by Telemundo Orlando, that agency has not released a motive behind the deaths.
Bodies Found on Courtney Chase Circle
The scene unfolded at a home in the 1200 block of Courtney Chase Circle, a street located between Town Center Boulevard and State Road 417 in the Hunter's Creek area of Orange County, according to the WKMG ClickOrlando report. Deputies discovered all three bodies after responding to perform a well-being check at the residence, per the same account.
Carlo and Melanie Montiel Infantino were teenage twins, both 17, and were found together in the living room. Their father was located separately, in the home's main bathroom. The ClickOrlando report, bylined by Christie Zizo, states that detectives have not said why Roa allegedly killed his children before taking his own life.
Investigation Remains Open
No additional details about the circumstances leading up to the deaths have been made public. Detectives have not released an official incident report, autopsy findings, or any other forensic determinations tied to the case, and the sheriff's office has so far limited its public comments to describing the deaths as an apparent homicide-suicide.
WESH also reported on the discovery of the twins and their father, corroborating that deputies found Carlo and Melanie dead in the living room with multiple stab wounds, according to WESH. As the investigation continues, no further information about services, surviving family, or next steps in the case has been released.
