Authorities have identified 37-year-old Nichol Leila Olsen as the woman who was found shot dead inside of her gated community home in Texas. Additionally, two teenage girls were also found shot dead inside the home.
According to police, Charles Wheeler — who was dating Olsen — found her and the two teenage girls dead from gunshot wounds inside of a luxury community home in Northwest Bexar County on the morning of Thursday, January 10.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said that officers were first called around 9:04 a.m. to the home in the 11300 block of Anaqua Springs Road, which is located in the Anaqua Springs Ranch community. Sheriff Salazar added that all three victims were related to each other but did not specify the nature of their relationship.
At this time, while investigators say believe that the two teenage girls were murdered, they say it is too soon to tell whether Olsen’s death was the result of a homicide or a suicide.
Additionally, authorities say that it is “way too early to tell who’s a suspect and who’s a witness.”

“We’re hoping as this investigation unfolds it will be able to shed more light on not only what was going on last night, but also what may have happened this morning,” Salazar said.
The boyfriend who discovered the bodies lived at the address, but reportedly did not sleep there that night. Salazar said determining his whereabouts will form part of the investigation, adding at this stage it is “too early to tell who’s a suspect and who’s a witness.”
Salazar said police did not receive any reports of gunshots, although this may have been because of the size of the estate inside the luxury community.
“They’re multimillion-dollar homes, very big lots and the homes are probably very well constructed,” Salazar said. “So it’s quite possible nobody heard anything.
“This is not a common area for us to see this sort of activity, but it just goes to show that crime really knows no boundaries, geographic, socio-economic or otherwise, it can happen anywhere.”
While Olsen — who reportedly worked as a cosmetologist — did have children, they were not the ones who were found dead in the home.
“We’re hoping as this investigation unfolds it will be able to shed more light on not only what was going on last night, but also what may have happened this morning,” Salazar said.
