Three family members have been found dead in a suspected murder-suicide in Texas, according to police.
The victims, which include a 15-year-old boy, were discovered by police at a residence in Frisco at around 4:13 p.m. local time on Friday, Dec. 6, the Frisco Police Department said in a news release.
Authorities had been called about “a welfare concern” at the home after “a coworker had not shown up to work and could not be reached by phone,” the release said.
On their way to the residence, police said officers were told a family member had called 911 after arriving at the location “and finding two deceased subjects in the entryway.”
A third person was later found by police in the garage of the residence.
The identities of the three people were confirmed to be 54-year-old Ronald Morris, 53-year-old Stacy White and 15-year-old Gavin Morris.
Following preliminary information gathered at the scene, police believe the tragic incident was the result of a double murder-suicide.
“Frisco Detectives continue to investigate all aspects of this case, and a final determination may not be made for some time,” police said, per the release.
It has not been publicly shared which of the three individuals died by suicide. The investigation is ongoing.
According to a neighbor who lived next door to the residence, per CBS News, Ronald had been dating White for two years and had moved into the residence.
Eulanda Reddick, who was White’s neighbor for 20 years, told the outlet, “She stays to herself, has a really meek spirit. For the most part, she didn’t bother anybody, so for something like this to happen, it’s mind-blowing.”
“She seemed really happy, and you know the few times that I saw them, they looked like the perfect balance, so to experience this, it’s like, ‘What happened?’ ” Reddick added.
Gavin was a freshman student at Memorial High School, Fox 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth reported. The school will address Gavin’s death to students on Monday, Dec. 9, according to the outlet. (People)
