Police in Fort Worth, Texas, are seeking help in a triple homicide investigation after firefighters found three dismembered bodies – including one of a child – in a dumpster fire they extinguished this week.

Police identified one victim as David Lueras, 42, the Fort Worth Police Department said in a press release posted on Twitter Friday. The other bodies are that of an unknown child and a teenage or adult female. "The bodies were burned and heavily dismembered and there are body parts unaccounted for," police said.

The Fort Worth Fire Department on Wednesday morning at 6:17 a.m. CT

responded to a report of a dumpster fire outside of a business located in the 3100 block of Bonnie Drive in west central Fort Worth. As firefighters put out the fire, they discovered the bodies inside the dumpster.

The Fort Worth Homicide unit, which responded to the crime scene after the discovery, said that "the dismembered condition of the bodies is making the identification process difficult."
