Authorities in Texas are investigating the shooting death of a couple whose bodies were found inside their Dallas apartment while their two young children were alive.
Dallas police were called to an apartment complex in the 6000 block of Ridgecrest Road at 12:12pm. When they arrived, officers located an adult man and adult woman deceased inside one of the apartment units.
Police were initially called out to the apartment on June 26, 2022 by a neighbor who heard gunshots.
Officers went to the apartment but say no one came to the door and there were no signs of forced entry, so they left.
More than two days later, police were called back to the apartment, and made the disturbing discovery.
Jimena Sandoval and David Stewart were found shot to death.
Family members say the couple’s two small children were inside with their deceased parents for more than two days.
The victim’s sister-in-law Lizette Faz says what hurts the most is that the children were by themselves for two days when they could have been found sooner.
Dallas Police are now looking for the couple’s car, a 2014 black Nissan Sentra that’s missing from the complex parking lot.
The investigation is ongoing.
