"Eleven people are facing federal charges in the shooting deaths of three people in an Independence, Mo., home on Nov. 16, federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday morning.Five people were originally charged in connection to the triple homicide, but federal prosecutors said that those five and six more defendants now face federal charges involving a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.Maria Hernandez, 48, her boyfriend, Tomas Dominguez, and Hernandez's 20-year-old son, Antonio Hernandez, were killed in the shooting.The following people now face federal charges:Kevin M. Finley, also known as \"Tubbs,\" 33, Antonio Cervantes, III, also known as \"Taz,\" 32, and Bobbi Jo Phillips, 37, all of Independence; Raul Soto, also known as \"Choch,\" 22, of Kansas City, Kan.; Carlos Zambrano, Jr., also known as \"Los,\" 27, Paula K. Deardorff, 31, Martin Medrano, 22, and Amber R. Hart, 26, all of Kansas City, Mo.; Clayton J. Deardorff, 34, of Columbia, Mo., and Ryan J. Clayton, 30, and Stephanie K. Allinder, 30, addresses unknown.State charges against some of the defendants, including Finley and Soto, that had already been filed will now be dismissed once the defendants are transferred into federal custody.\"Federal statutes are uniquely designed to target large-scale drug-trafficking conspiracies,\" Ketchmark said. \"By bringing this case into federal court, we will mount a comprehensive prosecution of all of the defendants, bringing them to trial together under one charging document. After discussing this case with Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker, we agree that federal charges are more appropriate.\"Ketchmark said the federal charges were simply a more efficient way to bring the case to justice.\"Primarily because of our ability to tell the story as one complete picture and bringing all the individuals together, unlike the\u00A0 state system where they're going to have a disjointed separate trial and separate charging instruments,\" he said. \"So it was better to be able to bring them all together and to hold all those individuals responsible and to present that in one trial.\"\"I think that's crazy that so many people are charged with that,\" said Jessica Potter, who lives in the neighborhood where the shootings took place.Neighbors said they were concerned for the three children who lived in the house, one of whom was injured trying to protect his mother.\"My heart goes out to those kids, I'm really worried about the where they're going to go, who they're going to end up staying with,\" said neighbor Drieux Jensen.\"They're kind of the victims in all this and you know, I love those, I love those children.\"The house that used to buzz with the activities of the children was quiet Wednesday.Tom Neill said he's lived in the neighborhood for 38 years. He said neighbors still think and talk about the murders, but a relative calm has returned.\"It's pretty nice and quiet, but it never was no problem when they were there,\" he said.Jensen said the neighborhood has become more somber lately.\"You wake up and you see it so close to home, it really makes you think and want to protect your kids,\" Jensen said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
