Riviera Beach, FL - Police are calling it the worst murder-suicide case in Palm Beach County history.
Family members of the victims in last week's shootings in Riviera Beach are working to develop a memorial fund in honor of the victims and surviving children.
The elementary school where two of the victims attended has created a memorial wall.
Students and staff at Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School set up the memory wall in honor of 11 year-old Javon Nelson and 10 year-old Daniel Barnett.
The two children were killed last week along with their sister, 13 year-old Diane Barnett, their brother, 14 year-old Bryan Barnett, and their mother, Natasha Whyte-Dell.
16 year-old Ryan Barnett survived last Monday's ordeal.
Police say the gunman, Patrick Dell, who was the children's stepfather, also killed himself.
