Medical Examiner Confirms Camila Mendoza Olmos Died by Suicide After Body Found Near Home

Investigators recovered a firearm at the scene, with testing pending on whether it matches a weapon reported missing.

Overview

  • The Bexar County Medical Examiner identified the remains as the 19-year-old and ruled the death a suicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.
  • Her body was found Tuesday about 100 yards from her northwest Bexar County home on the Burnin' Bush landscaping property during a renewed search through dense brush.
  • A joint team from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI located the body in a previously canvassed field, and officials say they do not suspect foul play.
  • Authorities noted prior indicators of depression and suicidal ideation during the search; the CLEAR Alert issued earlier was discontinued after the discovery.
