In the usually quiet town of Waller, residents are learning about a disturbing turn of events. Three family members have been found shot to death in their home. According to police, another family member is responsible.That family member is Trey Sesler.

"It's a horrific scene. A family was murdered here," said Waller Police Chief Phil Rehak.

The Waller County Sheriff's Office said a woman, her husband and son were in their home in the 1600 block of Farr Street when they were shot. The bodies were found around 1 p.m., after concerned family members asked police to perform a welfare check.

Police say there was a lot of damage done to the residence and one body could be seen through a window lying on the floor.

A warrant has been issued for the couple’s older son, 22-year-old Trey Sesler. Police are unclear on a motive at this point and say they were not aware of any prior problems at the home.

Texas Rangers, the DPS and Waller County deputies have joined the investigation and continue to search for Trey Sesler.

Sesler, on his Facebook page, has posted various videos he has created. He can also be found on YouTube.

The Texas Rangers arrested Trey Sesler on Tuesday night, at a home in the 26000 block of Barnett in Magnolia. His car had been seen there and they had been watching the house for several hours. Sesler was taken to the Montgomery County Jail.

We now know the names of the victims too. Lawton Ray Sesler Jr., his wife, Rhonda Wyse Sesler, and their son, Mark Alan Sesler each had fatal gunshot wounds that appeared to have come from a high-powered rifle.

Lawton Sesler, 58, taught at Robinson Elementary in the Cy-Fair Independent School District and grew up in Waller. He and Rhonda Sesler, 57, had been married 34 years. Mark Alan Sesler was 26.
