Wednesday, September 11, 2024 - A Texas man shot dead his wife and her two children before taking his life, police said.
The shooting incident occurred months
after he was arrested and released on bond for domestic violence charges.
On Saturday, September 7, authorities
responded to a residence in Amarillo after receiving a 911 call from a
relative. Upon arrival, police discovered the bodies of Jose David Olmos, 42,
Jessica Rose Olmos, 33, and her two children, Daniel and Jazale Garcia, all
with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to police, the evidence
suggests that Jose David Olmos shot the three victims before killing himself.
Court records showed that Olmos had
previously been charged with domestic violence after allegedly striking his
wife. As a result, he was issued a protective order, which prohibited him from
contacting his wife and children. Additionally, he was required to
complete an alcohol education course.
''Jessica had recently returned to the home to reconcile the marriage to try to make it better and the children also lived in the home at the time,'' James Clements with the Amarillo Police Department's homicide unit told the outlet.
He also had previous convictions,
including a one-year sentence in 2001 for marijuana possession and a 90-day
sentence in 2008 for driving while intoxicated. Additionally, authorities noted
that Olmos was not permitted to possess firearms, and the gun used in the
incident belonged to his wife.
According to Clements, the children,
Daniel and Jazale Garcia, were Jessica's children from a previous relationship
and did not have a biological relationship with Jose Olmos.
Jessica was employed as an office manager
at the Jess Bara State Farm Agency. Her daughter, a 7th-grade student, was
actively involved in wrestling. Meanwhile, the age of her son, Daniel, has not
been specified.
The Amarillo Police Department's
Homicide Unit is currently investigating the deaths.
