A quiet stretch of Rash Lane in Terrell turned somber on Christmas Eve when four people were found dead, authorities said. Officers discovered the victims around 5:30 p.m. in the 200 block of the street, and investigators are now working to confirm their identities and notify relatives. Officials have called the incident isolated and say they are not aware of any ongoing threat to the public while the investigation continues.
Police: Details Limited
Terrell police have released only a handful of details so far. They have not said whether the victims were found inside a residence or elsewhere on the property, and they have not disclosed how the four died. Investigators are still piecing together what happened and have asked anyone with information to contact the department, according to CBS News.
Where It Happened
Terrell is a city of roughly 17,000 residents in Kaufman County, about 32 miles east of Dallas, a detail that helps place the community within the broader North Texas region. Wikipedia lists the city’s population and location, and Rash Lane is one of the local streets within Terrell’s street grid.
How To Help
Anyone who might have seen or heard something relevant to the case is urged to call the Terrell Police Department at 469-474-2700. Authorities say they expect to release more information once they have confirmed the victims’ identities and gathered additional facts from the scene, per CBS News.
