Two young sisters were found shot to death along with their mother in a Texas mansion belonging to the mother's boyfriend.
High school cheerleader Alexa Denice Montez, 16, and London Bribiescas, 10, were found dead with their mother Nichol Olsen, 37, on Thursday morning by Nichol’s 31-year-old boyfriend Charles Edward Wheeler, in his gated-community home in San Antonio, Texas.
Wheeler told police he returned to the property at 9:07am after the spending the night elsewhere and found the three of them dead inside. It is unclear where he was overnight or before he found them.
Wheeler owns an oil drilling and maintenance company. He bought the home last year for $1 million.
Police are yet to confirm whether the deaths were the result of a triple murder, or a double murder suicide carried out by 37-year-old Nichol Olsen.
“It’s way too early to tell who’s a suspect and who’s a witness,” Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said on Thursday at a press conference.
All three of the females had been shot in their upper bodies. Sheriff Salazar indicated that the two girls were likely murdered, but declined to comment on whether Nichol died from homicide or suicide.
“It’s just too early to tell on the third person if that is a murder or a suicide. We’ll let the medical examiner take a look at it.”
On Thursday night, investigators towed a 2013 Ford pickup truck belonging to Wheeler from the residence.
Nichol Olsen, 37 (above right), was found shot dead on Thursday morning. Her boyfriend Charles Wheeler, 31 (above left), told police he returned to the million-dollar home where they lived at 9am and found the bodies.
Alexa Denice Montez (above right) and her younger half-sister, London Bribiescas (above left), were found shot to death in the home they shared with their mother and her boyfriend. London was in the fifth grade.
16-year-old Alexa Denice Montez, pictured above, was a cheerleader and a sophomore at Tom C. Clark High School in San Antonio.
The girls have a 22-year-old half-brother, Skylar, who is not thought to have been in the home at the time of the shooting. All three half-siblings have different fathers, none of whom live with them.
Court records show that Nichol divorced Skylar’s father, James Noble, in 1998, when she was only 17 and Skylar was two.
Other records detail her divorce from her older daughter Alexa’s father, Carlos Montez, in 2006. At the time, Nichol was 25 and Alexa was just four.
Nichol never married younger daughter London’s father, Hector Bribiescas, but she sued him for child support in 2013.
In 2014, Nichol Olsen was charged with a domestic assault. The identity of the injured person was not revealed, and the case was dropped when the witness failed to appear in court.
Nichol had been dating Charles Wheeler for around 18 months, and had moved into his Texas estate with her two daughters.
Nichol Olsen was a licensed cosmetologist and appears to have worked as a hair stylist.
No gunshots were reported to police on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, but Sheriff Salazar said “it’s quite possible no one heard anything.”
He said: “They’re multi-million dollar homes. Very big. Very big lots. And the homes are probably very well constructed.
“Naturally, it’s not a common area for us to see this type of activity, but it just goes to show that crime really knows no boundaries, geographic, socioeconomic or otherwise.
“It could happen anywhere, literally.”
