July 8, Shelley Susan Thompson-Lemoine, 41, of Freeport, was arrested for the 2005 deaths of Antonio and Luz Rodriguez in Cleveland, Texas.

Thompson-Lemoine was taken into police custody at the parole office in Angleton by the Texas Rangers and detectives from the Cleveland Police Department. She now faces Capital Murder charges. Bond is set at $1 million dollars.

According to police, on April 14, 2005, Antonio and Luz Rodriguez were found dead in the home they shared on West Waco Street in Cleveland by their daughter. Cleveland PD and the Texas Rangers investigated the crime scene and continued the investigation until it ultimately went cold.

As the result of a qualifying conviction, Thompson-Lemoine’s DNA was collected upon entry into a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facility. It was submitted to the DPS crime laboratory and later entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).
