Conroe, TX — Tragedy struck a Conroe household on Thursday, October 23, 2025, when a man, a woman, and their young son were found dead in what authorities have now confirmed as a murder-suicide. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) identified the deceased as 52-year-old Salvador Ramirez, 39-year-old Maria Ramirez, and their three-year-old son.
Discovery of the Victims
The bodies were discovered on the porch of a home located in the 11800 block of Crystal Creek Drive.

Upon arriving at approximately 3:45 p.m., the family member found all three victims deceased and immediately contacted 911.

Preliminary investigations suggest that Salvador Ramirez, the male adult in the household, may have called family members earlier in the day, making statements that raised concerns for their safety. Authorities believe these distressing phone calls may have preceded the tragic events that unfolded later that afternoon.
At the scene, investigators recovered a pistol, and all three victims had sustained gunshot wounds. Following a thorough on-site assessment and evidence collection, the MCSO officially confirmed on Friday, October 24, 2025, that the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide.
Motive and Context
