The bodies of three adolescents were discovered in a rural house in Texas in what the police described as a possible “double murder-suicide”.
The officers Harris County police were called to the property near the block 4500 of Wolcek Road in Crosby Tuesday afternoon when a member of the family who lived next door found the bodies.
It is believed that the victims are two teenagers, both from 17 years old, and a child of 15 years.
Two bodies were found together in the house and the third body was found “in another place”, authorities said.
The relative was looking for someone when he did the grim discovery at the house, located 25 miles northeast of Hou ston.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said at a news conference that one of the teens appears to have committed suicide after killing the other two.
The weapon that appears to have been involved was found at the crime scene, he said.
“There was a firearm that we found, but we don’t know, we assume that They were shot at,” he added. “There will be a forensic investigation that will determine the cause of his death.”
The owner of the house where the bodies were found was out of town, González added.
“A family member discovered three deceased bodies inside the residence. They all seemed to be teenagers,” González said. “We know that a family member was trying to locate someone. He went to the house, but they did not get an answer.
“Based on the trauma that was seen, it appears that this may be a case of double homicide-suicide, but that will still be under investigation. But that is the preliminary information that we have,” reported González, who described the deaths as “tragic” and “meaningless.”
The victims have not been named and investigators said they have yet they do not know the nature of their relationship with each other, but they believe that at least two of the teenagers were related.
“We want to be careful, especially if one of the parents involved in this is traveling Gonzalez said. “These cases are always very charged and very emotional, we know that. Our condolences go to the family”.
At the scene, the victims’ distraught loved ones could be seen comforting each other as investigators cordoned off the street.
Police are still trying to determine a motive and connections between the three teenagers.
Twitting earlier in the day, González said: “The deceased bodies of three teenagers have been discovered inside the residence. There are signs of trauma. “Every time there is a child involved, we are all parents connected in some way and it is extremely difficult when we talk about young people,” said González, during the press conference.
