Cesar Olalde faces charges for capital murder in the deaths of his parents, his older sister, and little brother, said an information filed in court by Bowie County prosecutors on Wednesday. The victims were identified as siblings Lisbet Olalde and Oliver Olalde, and parents Reuben Olalde and Aida Garcia-Mendoza

A probable cause affidavit said that the defendant on Tuesday committed the massacre at 563 Lemon Acres, his family’s home, shooting each of the victims “repeatedly.”

“Officers received word from friends and family that the suspect lived in the residence with his mother, father, adult sister, and younger brother,” the affidavit said.

When Flieder and an Olalde family member forced their way into the residence, the killer was still holding the murder weapon and made incriminating statements, the affidavit continued.

“Flieder had his wife exit the residence and he continued to speak with Cesar,” the affidavit said. “Flieder informed me that Cesar made statements that he had killed his family because they were cannibals, and they were going to eat him.”
