I mean, three counts of capital murder.

Police also confirmed that they recovered a handgun, which is believed to be the one that he used during this horrific triple murder.

And now a major focus of the investigation is figuring out how this 15-year-old kid even got access to a gun in the first place.

I mean, I know it's easy these days to get a weapon, but like a 15-year-old kid, is it really that easy?

Police have said that he did tell them how he got it, but that they don't necessarily believe him.

So they're actively trying to figure out if his story is legit or not.

The Odessa police chief described the shooting as, quote, a tragic and cowardly act of violence.

And he said that it's left this entire community trying to wrap their heads around how something this extreme could have come out of just a regular teenage breakup.

A motive also hasn't been released, but obviously with something like this, there's always going to be a level of speculation.

And people are thinking that maybe he originally planned to kill the ex-girlfriend.

Like, if I can't have you, nobody can.

But then decided that better revenge would be to take out her whole family and leave her with nobody and with nothing and with that guilt.

I don't really know.

It's sick, whatever his motive was and whatever his thought process was.

But I can't imagine this young teenage girl now trying to, like, grapple with the fact that she lost her siblings and her mom, but now also living with the trauma that she –

was the not i don't want to say the responsible or the reason because that's not how i mean it but like that carrying the weight of knowing that because of the guy that you dated your family is no longer there it's like it's a kind of trauma i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy because obviously it's not her fault he made his decision he is the one responsible for those actions but like how do you even begin to justify that in your own mind not until i would imagine after a lot of therapy

It's just sad.

And her entire life is now destroyed.

And it's sick.

I mean, I get being impulsive and wanting that like instant gratification.
