Breaking News: double murder-suicide in League City
By Rosa Flores / 11 News & Associated Press
LEAGUE CITY, Texas -- A League City couple and their son were dead Thursday after an apparent double murder-suicide.
Authorities on Wednesday night found the bodies of Lewis Cantrell III, his father, Lewis Cantrell II, and stepmother Gayle Cantrell in a home in the 2600 block of Chinaberry Park Lane.
Sgt. John Jordan with the League City Police Department said a .38 caliber pistol was found near the younger man’s body.
Jordan said two other siblings, aged 18 and 20, were in the house when they heard gunfire. They managed to escape and ran to a neighbor’s house to call 911.
Police interviewed four people overnight: two family members and two neighbors.
Police said the younger Lewis Cantrell did not live in the home with his parents.
The investigation is ongoing.
