LEWISVILLE, Texas — An arrest has been made after two people were found dead inside a home in Lewisville on Monday, Aug. 14, police said.
Few details were released by police, who said two bodies were found inside a home in the 800 block of Ramblewood Drive, near Orchard Lane and West Main Street.
Police said the incident was a double homicide. The cause of their deaths and their identities have not yet been released.
Police initially said it appeared the incident was isolated and that detectives were already looking into leads.
In an update on Wednesday afternoon, police said a man, who has not yet been identified, was arrested in connection to the two deaths. He was charged with capital murder.
Police said they responded to the home after a relative went to do a welfare check. The relative told police she had not heard from the two in several days.
"Did a welfare check here, went inside the house, saw her car, was here, went inside the house and found a deceased Hispanic female and a deceased Hispanic male," Lewisville PD spokesperson Matt Martucci said.
Residents in the area are reacting to the news in what's normally a quiet neighborhood.
"Unbelievable," said resident Retha Welch. "You hear about things like this on the news."
Welch described what it looked like when Lewisville police showed up on her street. She's lived on Ramblewood Drive for almost 20 years and knows many of the neighbors.
"It was pretty hectic for a little bit. And of course, different investigators came and went over the evening," Welch said.
Welch said she and her family noticed the victims' pickup trucks had not moved for a couple of days, but they never suspected anything like this.
"I've not seen everything, but I've heard a lot in our world, you know, Anything can happen just about anywhere, the nicest neighborhoods, it doesn't matter," Welch said.
"That's understandable, the shock, You know, a tight knit community like this," said Martucci. "We want to assure them that we're doing what we can."
