I saw Little Elm on a episode of Forensic Files.I think it was about an off duty police officer being found dead.

Suspect identified

quote:

Jerry Garcia confirmed to News 8 Wednesday afternoon that it was his 46-year-old brother, Rudy Garcia, that was the shooter. "I was watching the news last night and when they said Little Elm, and then the street, I started paying attention," said Jerry. He says his brother lived in the house on the corner of Turtle Cove and Waterview Drives with their mother and grandmother. The older lady was actually pulled to safety through a window.
