SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio police are investigating an apparent double-murder and suicide on the northwest side that was discovered off Bandera Road.
Police were called to the 8600 block of Bristlecone Street, just a few blocks north of Mainland Drive, just after 2:30 p.m. Thursday to conduct a welfare check on the elderly couple that lived in a home there, according to records.
Moments later, they asked for the fire department to assist them. That’s when three people were pronounced dead.
The Bexar County medical examiner lists the murder victims as 84-year-old Ernest Dean Adams and 83-year-old Sharon Leahey Adams. Records state they both died from multiple gunshot wounds.

The medical examiner has ruled the death of 54-year-old Mariah Anne Adams a suicide, saying she died from a single gunshot wound.
