Terrell police have identified four people who found shot to death inside a North Texas home on Christmas Eve in what appears to be a case of family violence.
Three victims, including a 12-year-old boy, were killed by gunshots and the fourth person died of a self-inflicted gunshot, the Terrell Police Department said in a news release on Monday.
The victims were identified as 66-year-old Philip Dale Humphrey, of Kaufman; 62-year-old Sherry Lynn Bostick, of Terrell; and a 12-year-old boy from Wills Point. The child’s identity is being withheld at the family’s request, police said.
A 38-year-old man, Casey Dale Humphrey, of Forney, died by suicide, according to the release.
Police found the bodies in the home in the 200 block of Rash Lane while making a welfare check after they received a 911 call. The investigation is ongoing.
