Police are investigating the deaths of three people found inside a Flower Mound home Wednesday morning during a requested welfare check.
Flower Mound police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 10700 block of Sunrise Circle at about 10:45 a.m. on September 23 after relatives became concerned about two residents who had not shown up for work and could not be reached.
Officers entered the home based on what they observed at the scene and discovered three deceased individuals inside.
Flower Mound police Deputy Chief Henry Lucio said the victims are believed to be related and that investigators believe gunshots may have been involved.
“We’re at the infancy of our investigation right now, so we will gather the evidence and wherever the leads take us we will follow up,” Lucio said, NBC 5 DFW reported.
Update: In a September 24 statement, the Town of Flower Mound said the three people had apparent gunshot wounds and are believed to be a husband, wife and adult son who lived at the home. Preliminary information leads investigators to believe the deaths were a double homicide and suicide, the town said. Identities remain pending confirmation by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Detectives remained at the residence for hours, processing the scene and gathering evidence as the investigation continued.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Flower Mound Police Department tip line at (972) 874-3307.
