Six bodies were found after a gunshot victim called 911, sending a police helicopter to the grisly crime scene.

Investigators for the San Bernardino Sherriff's Office said on Monday that the dispute appears to be related to illicit marijuana production.

Four of the six victims have been identified so far, police said.

The bodies - all men - were found on 23 January off a highway near the town of El Mirage, located in San Bernardino County. All six victims died from gunshot wounds, police said.
