Texas officials on May 6 released the identities of three victims found dead inside an upscale Houston neighborhood in what authorities are investigating as a murder-suicide.
The individuals were identified as Thy Mitchell, 39, and her children, 8-year-old Mya Mitchell and 4-year-old Maxwell Mitchell, online reports from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences show.
The medical examiner's office listed the time and date of the deaths as 6:11 p.m. on May 4, the same day Houston police discovered their bodies during a welfare check at their southeast Texas home.
As of May 6, detectives had not confirmed a motive in the case, but police previously said evidence on scene indicated the incident was a murder-suicide in which Matthew Mitchell, Thy Mitchell's husband and Mya and Maxwell Mitchell's father, allegedly "shot the three victims and then shot himself."
