On Sunday, 11-17-2024, Bowie County Deputies were dispatched to the 800 block of County Road 4316 for two suspicious deaths. When they arrived, they found Billy Don English, 86 years of age, and Sethiena Trudie English, 85 years of age, deceased in their home.

The way they were found indicated that their deaths were not natural and investigators along with the Texarkana Texas Police Department (TTPD) Crime Scene Unit were called to the scene.
