The victims, who were found in two separate vehicles, had been shot to death by persons unknown.
Authorities are currently investigating a murder mystery - two men and a woman all shot to death in two cars in the remote Californian desert last weekend.
Officers had initially received a call-out on Sunday and discovered a 65-year-old woman gunned down inside her vehicle, as well as two men who had been killed in their SUV.
Both vehicles had been traveling westbound behind one another on Avenue Q.
An investigation of the scene indicated that the suspect had approached in another vehicle from the west and had then fired multiple rounds into the cars before fleeing the scene.
As things stand, the police have been unable to determine who was responsible or even why the victims had been targeted.
"We're asking the public's help if anybody knows what occurred out here," said LASD Lt. Steve DeJong.
Investigations remain ongoing.
