Brazos County, TX: Investigators release names of couple found dead Saturday

Investigators identified the two bodies found Saturday afternoon in a rural Brazos County home as 22-year-old Chance Schneider and 20-year-old Ashley Lenz.

The bodies of the estranged couple were found by a roommate, authorities said.

A gun was found near the bodies at the home off Caroline Drive and investigators do not believe there was an immediate threat to the public, Sheriff Chris Kirk said.

"Our investigation continues at this point," he said. "We're not looking for any outside suspects."

The roommate returned to the home, which belonged to Schneider, around 2:50 p.m. and found the bodies, Kirk said. He was scared, went to his mother's house and then contacted the sheriff's department, Kirk said.

Kirk said he's hoping to put out conclusive findings by mid week. No other information was immediately available.
