Four found shot to death

Police: Greenacres area in no danger

Police are investigating the deaths of four people found inside a Greenacres home on Saturday.

Two women, a toddler and a 9-year-old boy were found shot dead inside the residence in the 4600 block of Chariot Circle, according to police.

The discovery was made by a friend at about noon, according to Greenacres police Lt. Brady Myers.

“That friend told authorities they had not been accounted for since Friday evening,” the lieutenant said of the three women.

Police said at least four people were living in the house. They declined to give out names of the deceased, pending notification of next of kin.

The approximate ages of the female victims are 60, 30 and 2, Myers said.

Myers would not say if police were looking for a suspect, but he did say the neighborhood was not in any danger

A group of young adults and small children gathered at the edge of yellow police tape in the neighborhood of duplexes, at times weeping and hugging each other.

Neighbors said the two women had lived in the neighborhood for about five years and they were believed to be mother, daughter and grandmother.

“This is terrible,” said Annarita Wenhold, who has lived in the neighborhood for 40 years. “This is the first time we’ve ever had anything like this.”

Tiffany Hise, who has lived two houses down from the deceased for three years, said the

house was the quietest one of the street. “Except for us,” she said.

Maria Menjivar, 59, lives across the street from where the bodies were found. She gasped when she heard the news.

“I’ve seen that baby on the tricycle,” she said. “This is no good.”

Police tape kept cars from circulating around the circle. At one point, late in the afternoon, investigators put plastic coverings on their shoes. The bodies had not been taken out of the house by 9 p.m. Saturday.
