The Plant City Police Department said in a statement that the victims included a grandmother, 55; her daughter, 28; and the mother’s 4-year-old and 4-month-old children.
They were not identified, and the department did not provide information about potential suspects.
Officers in Plant City, east of Tampa, found the mother and children at a home after responding to a report of a disturbance, the department said.
The children were pronounced dead at the scene. The mother later died at a local hospital, according to police. A third child found at the house was unharmed, the department said.
The grandmother was found dead at a home a half-mile away, the department said.
Police are seeking the public’s help, asking for security video from the area from between 5:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. May 3. The department said some of the victims traveled on foot, and investigators are seeking video of a woman walking with three young children.
The department described the investigation as ongoing and said it was withholding additional details about the case.
