North Royalton police are investigating the deaths of three people whose bodies were discovered at a home in the 8900 block of Tiffany Drive on Tuesday, November 10. Officers arrived around 8 p.m. after receiving a report about an unwanted guest and found two people dead inside the residence.
A SWAT team subsequently entered the home and found the person described as the unwanted guest dead as well. Authorities have not identified any of the three people. Investigators said the scene was secure and posed no danger to the public. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting local police with the case.
In a separate case, a Franklin County jury on Tuesday afternoon convicted Pammy Maye on all counts in the death of her 5-year-old foster son, Darnell Taylor. Prosecutors said Maye suffocated the boy, concealed his body in a Columbus sewer and fled to the Cleveland area, where she was arrested. The convictions include aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Sentencing is expected within the next few weeks.
Euclid police are also investigating after officers confiscated a personal firearm brought to the Memorial Options Center by a staff member.

Security personnel and administrators removed the parent before contacting police.
According to the district, the firearm was not pointed at anyone, no students were involved and nobody was injured. The employee who brought the gun is on administrative leave. Alongside the police investigation, the district is reviewing what happened.
