Sky News USA reports that 5 deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide after a police investigation revealed that Glenn Edward Baxter, 27, intentionally drove into Tempe Town Lake on Sunday morning.

He and the rest of the family - Zariyah, one, two-year-old Nazyiah, Reighn, three, and their mother Danica Baxter, 25 - were pulled by officers from their car.
George Britt, Mrs Baxter's grandfather, said his granddaughter had turned down attempts by Mr Baxter to reconcile their relationship. The couple married in April 2012, but separated several months ago.

Records show that police officers responded to three calls at the family's home in Glendale in the last year. The parents along with Nazyiah and Zariyah were taken to a hospital after they were pulled from the vehicle, where they later died
Detectives then realised Reighn was missing and divers returned to the submerged SUV and located his body. He was strapped in a car seat in the last row of the vehicle, according to Tempe police spokesman Michael Pooley
A GoFundMe page has been set up on behalf of Mrs Baxter.
