The Gillespie County Sheriff's Office is investigating reports of a fatal shooting and home invasion early Saturday morning. Deputies responded to the residence on the 15000 block of Ranch Road 965 around 12:45 a.m. after the caller reported an intruder had been shot by a person inside the home.
Officials said the homeowner, 73-year-old Curtis Roys, was asleep when he heard a loud banging noise outside. He then discovered a young man on his back patio who, when confronted, pushed his way inside through the patio door and began to assault Roys with a blunt object. Reportedly, he then put Roys into a chokehold, causing him to lose consciousness.
Deputies said Roys' fiancée, 65-year-old Melody Lumpkin, pled several times for the man to stop assaulting him, but the man did not comply. She then retrieved a handgun from the bedroom and fired a warning shot, but deputies said the alleged intruder continued his assault. When she noticed Roys was not moving, Lumpkin then reportedly fired another shot, striking the man in the head. When Roys regained consciousness, officials said they then called 911.

The family name is from Mexico. It is found in California, Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Pennsylvania. This perpetrator was most likely a US citizen, borne of US citizen parents, who were 2nd-generation immigrants.
Allow me to say how much I hate you. :-) (kidding!)
Thanks. It was not an obvious name.

Thanks. It’s the first belly laugh all day
Probably from Julian Castro’s La Raza City (yeah I know he’s not mayor there anymore). He did nearly irreversible damage to San Antonio, one of the actions being hiring Bill McManus as police chief. McManus was previously chief of Minneapolis PD, one of the most useless police departments in the US.
Ya gotta laugh now-a-days.
In Minnesota his death would have been ruled as Covid-19.

The stay at home order made him do it! Poor teenager was probably in agony over having his restaurant job hours cut.

The scum Democrat press will expect the old couple to be imprisoned for defending themselves.

Boy must have been so drugged out that he forgot he was in Texas. Woman needs better reflexes, however.
Agree. Sloppy writing. “Reportedly,” because, you know, the guy who broke in could be wrong. “Alleged intruder,” because, you know, the second intruder could have been shot.
Seems that newspapers hire low budget writers, since few read newspapers and newspaper web sites.
