Authorities have released the identities of three men whose bodies were found in a Waltham apartment this week.

Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone and Waltham Police Chief Thomas LaCroix said the victims are 25-year-old Brandon Mess of Waltham, 31-year-old Eric Weissman of Cambridge and 37-year-old Rapheal Teken of Cambridge.

Mess lived in the apartment where the killings took place.
