PARKER COUNTY, Texas — Updated at 12:37 p.m. with the names of both men who were killed.
The Parker County Sheriff's Office has identified two men who were found shot dead Sunday in an abandoned school.
Sheriff Russ Authier confirmed Wednesday that 26-year-old Daniel Gomez of Waco is one of the victims. On Thursday, authorities announced Efrain Mendoza, 35, of Austin is the other person who was killed.
Authorities said the Weatherford Police Department received a call Sunday afternoon on a non-emergency line about a man who may be in danger at an unknown address in the Dallas-Weatherford area.
Weatherford police then received a second call later that day, which was transferred to the Parker County Sheriff's Office. That call said two people were located at an abandoned school with red bricks at an unknown address with possible shots fired.
Sheriff’s deputies said they began canvassing areas with similar descriptions within Parker County. Deputies later located the abandoned school in Whitt where they found Mendoza and Gomez dead.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said both men died from gunshot wounds and ruled their deaths a homicide.
“We are following several leads regarding this case,” Authier said. "At this time, we are not releasing further details of the investigation due to its active status."
