The suspect, a man in his 20s, was arrested after he stole one of the victim’s vehicles and led law enforcement in a chase that ended when the man’s pickup crashed into a senior center in a nearby county, Washko said.

Washko didn’t know what the relationship was between the suspect and the victims and no motive has been established.

The incident happened near a school where the slain teen attended.

The Texas Rangers are helping with the investigation.

San Saba is located 141 miles north of San Antonio.
