The Houston Police Department is searching for a man accused of killing three people. The suspect in the triple homicide, David Tramell McFarland, 20, is considered a fugitive, said Homicide Detective Sgt. Eli Sisneros. Authorities believe McFarland has not fled the city.

According to investigators, McFarland, and another suspect, identified as Jonathan Ross Nickerson, 18, shot the victims to death last month during the course of a robbery. Sisneros said the bodies of a 30-year-old man, 26-year-old man, and 16-year-old teenage boy, were discovered by patrol officers on October 24 after getting reports of a suspicious vehicle.

When the officers arrived to investigate, they found a white Dodge truck with its engine running. Sisneros said one victim was lying on the ground next to the truck. The other two victims were inside the vehicle.

Sisneros said Nickerson confessed to the crime and implicated McFarland as the gunman. Both men are charged with three counts of capital murder.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Houston Police Department at 713-308-3600.
