UPDATE 2:30 P.M. Officials with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office have released the names of a man and woman who died in an apparent murder-suicide Friday morning.
Sheriff’s spokesman Roger Wade said investigators believe 35-year-old Jessica Arellano Salazar was killed by her husband, 35-year-old Efren Tapia Salazar.
Investigators arrived at the home in the 6700 block of Creedmoor Road around noon on Friday when Jessica Salazar was reported missing from work, Wade said. They found her dead inside the home. When investigators went to the 15200 block of Piedmont Trail to look for Efren Salazar, he was also found dead on the property.
Wade said deputies are still investigating how the couple died, but the case is still believed to be a murder-suicide.
Update, 6:00 p.m.: Authorities now believe the woman found dead in southeastern Travis County earlier today was likely part of a murder-suicide.
The husband of the victim was later found dead with a self-inflicted injury elsewhere in the county, Travis County Sheriff’s Capt. Wes Priddy said. Priddy could not say where the husband was found or the nature of his injury, but did say it appeared to be caused by the same means that killed his wife. Earlier: Authorities are investigating a suspicious death in southeastern Travis County near the airport.
The Travis County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 12:08 p.m. that a woman was found dead in her home at in the 6700 block of Creedmore Road, Capt. Wes Priddy said.
“We do have a female who was found deceased in the home under suspicious circumstances,” Priddy said, but he could not give any more information.
Robert Boatman, a neighbor, said he was cooking at his home when he heard screaming outside and saw a woman running out of the house and several police cars arriving at the scene.
“Some lady was screaming, I came outside and there were like five cop cars outside,” Boatman said.
Boatman said he did not know the people that lived at the house, but from his encounters with them, they seemed like “all right people.”
