Crime Stoppers of Wichita Falls, Texas today requested help from the public in finding the person who murdered David Mays in his own home last week.
Wichita Falls Police Department has released information that around 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 29, a man wearing a ski mask invaded the house in the 1000 block of Woods Street in Wichita Falls. He shot and killed David Mays while the victim's wife and children were in the house.
Officer Robert Woodruff, Wichita Falls Police Department, said, "The wife did hear it. She came out of the bedroom, and she was told to go back into the bedroom and she did."
It was at that time officers believe Mays was shot and killed by the early morning assassin.
Detective Brad Love of WFPD is leading the investigation into the savage murder.
Woodruff further said, "They (the family of Mays) want justice, and as the police department, that's what we want to provide for the family, and not just the family, but to the community. I mean this guy needs to be taken care of, and taken off the streets and put in jail."
The suspect is described as a black male, who was wearing a ski mask, dark pants and a dark hoodie.
