Dallas father kills sons

Dallas police suspect the deaths of a man, his two sons and a woman at a Far North Dallas hotel Tuesday were a murder-suicide. His daughter had been in a long-running custody battle for the young boys, who attended Richardson ISD schools. When officers arrived, they found the bodies of Charles Schoenfeld, 41, and his sons, 9-year-old Noah and year-old Charlie, along with year-old Brittany Howard.

I loved them with every ounce of my being. I know that my entire life has changed forever. The children had been at the center of a custody battle between Schoenfeld and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Schonfeld, who said when she filed for divorce in that he had been violent with her, according to court records.

She sought sole custody of Charlie and asked the court to allow him to stay with his maternal grandparents temporarily. Noah was not yet born. The divorce was finalized in , and the parents had a joint-custody arrangement, according to court records. Records show Schoenfeld tried in January to transfer the custody case to Florida and modify the custody arrangement there. But a judge said no. In early January, the mother wrote on social media that Schoenfeld still had the children in Florida. She wrote that she planned to travel there and try to bring her children back to Texas with the help of police.

Noah was a fourth-grader at Bowie Elementary. Charlie, the older of the two boys, was a seventh-grader on the track team at Parkhill Junior High.
