WESTCHESTER, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Two juveniles were arrested Wednesday in connection with the murder of two women found dead in their burning Westchester apartment, according to Los Angeles police.

The victims were discovered dead with gunshot wounds in an apartment fire in the 8600 block of Belford Avenue shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday.

Los Angeles police confirmed both were sisters, ages 16 and 27. Coroner officials identified the 16-year-old as Sierra Domonique Brown. According to a GoFundMe page set up to help with funeral expenses, the other sister is listed as Uniek Souvinette.

The case is expected to be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on Monday.
