TEXARKANA — A 19-year-old who told police last year that he murdered his mother, father, younger brother and adult sister because he thought they were cannibals, was sentenced Tuesday, October 15, 2024 to life in prison plus 50 years as part of a plea agreement that spared the surviving family members the trauma of a trial.
Cesar Olalde was just days from graduating from high school on May 23, 2023, when he shot and killed four family members and piled their lifeless bodies in a bathroom of their home in the 500 block of Lemon Acres in Nash, Texas, according to a probable cause affidavit. Olalde had said after the killings that he thought his family members were “cannibals and that they were going to eat him,” the affidavit said.
First Assistant District Attorney Kelley Crisp told TXK Today on Tuesday that, “Understandably, the surviving member of the Olalde family elected to accept the defendant’s offer to plead to life in prison plus 50 years in order to close this devastating chapter in her life.”…
