The Travis -County Medical Examiner's office preliminary autopsy report determined Rodriguez's, Nino's and the child's deaths were homicides while Martinez's death was ruled a suicide.
Bastrop police said all family members of the victims have been notified. Police also added this was a joint investigation between the Bastrop County Sheriff's Office, Bastrop Police Department and the Texas Rangers.
