A double homicide in Howardwick Monday night has local and state investigators busy looking for clues to a suspect this week.
Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said the bodies of Candace Racheal Garret, 33, and James Edward Fierro, 34, were discovered Monday night.
“It was most definitely a homicide,” Blackburn said.
Law enforcement personnel discovered the bodies in the couple’s residence at 113 Lakeview Lane after the sheriff’s office received a call at 10:09 p.m.
Four children, who were home at the time, were being interviewed by The Bridge – Children’s Advocacy Center on Tuesday.
Blackburn said Texas Rangers were called in to assist with the investigation. Both the victims had been shot, and the bodies were sent to Lubbock for autopsies.
The sheriff’s office had no suspects and no warrants had been issued in this case. Blackburn asks that if anyone has any information, please call the Donley County Sheriff’s Office at 806-874-3533.
Also this week, an account has been set up at Herring Bank in Clarendon for the benefit of the couple’s children.
