Terrell police have captured the man suspected in multiple overnight shootings that left five people dead by Tuesday morning.

Charles Brownlow was captured by officers around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning after allegedly killing his mother, his aunt, and three others.

Terrell Police Chief Jody Lay updated the media early Tuesday morning.

"We’re all in a state of shock, you have a tendency to think, 'How can that happen here?'" said Lay. "This is a country community, a rural community, people are real close and this is going to have a really big impact on us."

The investigation started after a call to a home in the 400 block of Tyler Street in Terrell. Officers found the body of a woman in the home dead of an apparent gunshot wound. Neighbors told NBC 5 DFW that woman is Brownlow's aunt.

Investigators tell NBC 5 that the body of another woman was found in a home in the 300 block of Stalling Street. A member of the Terrell Fire Department saw smoke coming from the home around 5:30 p.m. Monday and investigated, finding a body inside. People who know the victim told NBC 5 that victim is Brownlow's mother.

Police believe that home is where Brownlow had been living. Officers believe he stole a car from this location.

A third incident occurred in the 800 block of North Francis Street where a shooting was reported around 10 p.m. Monday. Police believe it may be the home of Brownlow's girlfriend. No one was hurt at this address.

Lay said two other shooting victims were found at another house on Eulalia Street at 10:27 p.m. Lay said a man and a woman were killed. A 3-year-old child in the house during the shooting was not hurt.

Ten minutes later, Lay said Brownlow traveled to a convenience store called "Ali's Market" at 10:37 p.m. The store is located on US Highway 80 in the 700 block of West Moore Avenue.

Lay said Brownlow allegedly killed the clerk inside the store then jumped in the car and took off after officers spotted him at the store.

The victim at the store was identified by a friend at the scene as Luis Leal. Police believe he was randomly targeted by the alleged shooter.

Following that shooting, police pursued Brownlow back toward the neighborhood where it all started. The high-speed chase traveled through several neighborhoods before Brownlow crashed the car through a fence off College Mound and bailed out of the vehicle. He then fled into a wooded area.

Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and their helicopter searched for Brownlow in the area using infrared cameras and eventually caught him around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

The Garland Police Department, Department of Public Service, Kaufman Co. Sheriff's Office, Terrell Police Department and Texas Rangers are all investigating this situation.

Kaufman County has dealt with multiple incidents of high-profile violence this year, including the slayings of their district attorney and top prosecutor.

"We’ve had a tough year here in Kaufman County and this makes it a little bit tougher, but we’re going to get through it," Lay said. "We’re resilient we’re going to rise above it, we’re going to get through it."
