Three dismembered bodies — including a child and a teenager — were found inside a burning dumpster in Texas last week, a report said.

The grisly discovery was made by firefighters who put out the blaze in a dumpster outside of a Fort Worth business on Wednesday, KSAT reported, citing police.

Police said the victims included a child, a young woman — possibly in her teens — and a 42-year-old man who has been identified as David Lueras. “I know that he was scared and I know he knew somebody was after him to get him,” Lueras’ cousin, Aaron Torres, said.

“The dismembered condition of the bodies is making the identification process difficult,” police said in a statement.

A relative of Lueras said the man “got lost with the wrong crowd.”

“I know that he was scared and I know he knew somebody was after him to get him,” Lueras’ cousin, Aaron Torres, told Fox 4 in Fort Worth.

“Whoever did this definitely wanted to make an example out of him,” he added.

No arrests have been made.
