A mother and her two young children were the people who died in an incident at a park in Anoka County, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.

Ramsey police and Anoka County sheriff’s deputies responded to a welfare check on Monday about 10 a.m. at Rum River Center Park in Ramsey. They found Jessica Linette Frank, 33, and Solara Rea Frank, 9, deceased in a parked sport-utility vehicle.

Law enforcement discovered Laiken Lea Frank, 4, was injured in the vehicle. He died at a local hospital.

No one was arrested and law enforcement is not looking for any suspects, Tierney Peters, sheriff’s office community relations coordinator, said earlier this week. The sheriff’s office has not released more information about the circumstances of their deaths.

The family lived in Monticello, according to the sheriff’s office.

Solara was a third grader at Twin Lakes Elementary in Elk River and her brother Laiken was in Discovery Learning preschool, according to a letter sent to Twin Lakes Elementary families Monday night.
