Blann’s daughter made the discovery on Saturday night, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

That affidavit states that Blann’s daughter went to her mother’s home in the 2100 block of E. Chavaneaux Road to bring her some tobacco.

When she got to the front door, she heard Campos, her aunt, yelling, “She’s on the floor.”

Blann’s daughter broke the glass on the front door to get in the home and found Campos sitting on the floor and found Blann and Sauceda dead inside the home, according to the affidavit. She told 911 dispatchers that the bodies appeared to have been there for a couple of days.

Campos admitted to an emergency medical technician who arrived on the scene that she shot and killed Sauceda, who was found lying on a bed with a gunshot wound to her chest, the affidavit states.

Campos put the .22 caliber gun inside a plastic bag under the bed.

BCSO investigators did not see any trauma on Blann that would indicate foul play and the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office said an autopsy was still being conducted and her cause of death is “pending.”

Campos was taken to a hospital because she complained of shortness of breath. She was then booked into the Bexar County Jail with a bond set at $250,000.

A mugshot released early Tuesday showed Campos in a hospital bed.
