LEWISVILLE, Texas - Lewisville police are searching for whoever murdered a man and a woman inside their home.
Lewisville police say right now they do have several leads. However, they are not releasing a suspect description.
Police are still trying to determine when exactly the double murder took place. Neighbors say they haven’t seen movement from the house in five days.
Tuesday afternoon, crime scene tape was taken down around a Lewisville home near Fox Avenue and Garden Ridge Boulevard as detectives now search for a suspect accused of killing two people.
"I don’t want them to think that once the crime scene is gone and police cars are gone, the investigation stops," said Matt Martucci with the Lewisville Police Department.
Lewisville police say the bodies had been left dead for several days.
A family member visited the home just after 5 p.m. Monday evening after not hearing from her relatives.
"So she went inside the house and found a deceased Hispanic woman and a deceased Hispanic man," Martucci said.
Neighbor Danny Talbert says Monday he noticed two women walk into the home while on the phone.
"They never came out of the house. Then I walk back into my house, and I ate dinner, and then the cops knocked on my door," he said.
Lewisville police arrived to make the gruesome discovery, telling FOX 4 the two victims were found in different rooms.
Talbert remembers the distinct smell once the garage door was open.
"You could stand right here. And when the wind blew, you could smell it," he said.
Investigators aren’t releasing how the two victims are related, only saying the man and woman lived at the home.
Man killed by drunken driver while helping hit-and-run crash victim, officials say
Law enforcement officials said a drunken driver killed a Good Samaritan as he tried to help the victim of a separate hit-and-run crash.
Police are looking for one suspect in what they believe to be an isolated incident.
It’s still unclear how and if the suspect knew the victims, but we asked if there were signs of forced entry.
"Can’t get into that. You can see there is no damage to the front door, but I can’t say anything more about the investigation-wise more about that," Martucci said.
Talbert says he would see people pile in the trucks parked out front every morning, but he hasn’t seen the trucks move since Thursday.
"I never talked to them. Every time I got up for work at 4 or 5, they would get in the trucks and take off," he said. "And then they would come home and go to sleep."
Police aren’t releasing the cause of death for both of the victims.
We are still waiting for the cause of death to be released by the Tarrant County medical examiner as well as the victims’ names.
