A Texas politician was stabbed and her husband was killed after their grandson allegedly attacked them at their Lewisville home early Monday morning.
Republican Denton County Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell, 76, and her husband were stabbed early Monday morning by their grandson, according to police. Fred Mitchell, Bobbie Mitchell's husband, was pronounced dead just after 5 a.m. Bobbie Mitchell was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive her injuries.
The Lewisville Police Department said on Facebook that the double stabbing happened on Monday at 3:53 a.m. Mitchell Blake Reinacher, the couple's 23-year-old grandson, was arrested at the house and is charged with murder and aggravated assault.
Denton County is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Mitchell was the first Black mayor of Lewisville when she was elected in 1993.
She was mayor of Lewisville until she resigned in 2000, when she ran for Denton County commissioner for Precinct 3, which is her current position.
Bobbie Mitchell has two children and nine grandchildren, according to the Denton County government. Reinacher is listed as one of Mitchell's grandsons.

They look like very nice people. What a tragedy. I’ll bet the grandson has a history of violence.
I bet grands refused to give the kid money. What else could it be?
Our society is not healing. If anything we are maintaining the status quo. Something is seriously wrong with the youth.
I’ll bet the grandson has a history of being a democrat.
He could be an entitled leftist. .
Or he could be paranoid schizophrenic.
Pity. Nice conservative couple who made a positive difference in their town.
When they made it clear to him that he could no longer fly in the face of their combined and respective wisdom, he flew into a rage instead. Sometimes I wish I could could find a kid like that alone in a dark alley.
OMG….
Thanks, I think mybad for laughing
Why no pictures of the killer?
It's not " alledged". He did it. He is accused of killing them.
they're dead jim, and he did it!. The only question is, but why?
TDS. Leftist indoctrination.
You just described most Demonrats.
3:53 a.m.
Drugs/alcohol.
Her husband Fred (left) was killed in the same attack
The couple's 23-year-old grandson, Mitchell Blake Reinacher, was shockingly arrested for the crime. He now faces murder and aggravated assault charges
Everything will be discussed at the next Juneteenth picnic.
I doubt he bores. His ballot might, but not him.
That poor family.
Maybe they refused to call him Sheila.
Dead eyes. Soulless, feral human.
Probably needed drug money, Gram and Pap wouldn’t oblige so homeboy went berserk.
Pretty lady who looks gorgeous for her age, and conservative as well. A guy who looks like you would want to have a beer and watch a ball game with. Happy-looking couple tragically torn apart. So sad.
I have a nephew who is homeless, but has been housed in the county lockup numerous times, his mom and dad (who are divorced) BOTH have orders of protection from him, as he’s stolen from them, and been violent against them. Luckily his sister, who is nothing like him, lives in another state.
I just checked, and apparently he’s been released. He was already on parole before his current arrest. I hope he doesn’t come around here.
He has a head full of bad wiring, inherited from his father (my brother in law).
He’s quite a racist, been kicked out of every shelter he’s been in. I foresee a bad end for him, or someone around him, much like this guy.
