Escoto used the help of a Spanish interpreter during the hearing while he sat next to his attorney. He did not enter a plea, and will be back in court June 28th.
Escoto, 28, is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the knife slaying of 23-year-old “devoted mother” Fabiola Gonzalez, 54-year-old “loving grandmother” Silvia Nuñez and “innocent” two-week-old infant Mateo Gonzalez.

Police responded to a home near Monterey and Thrasher avenues in Modesto following a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance. They found Gonzalez dead with multiple stab wounds. Officers later also found Nuñez and baby Mateo dead with stab wounds, as well.
