Texas District Attorney, Wife Found Dead
Investigators are looking into the deaths of a North Texas district attorney and his wife, just two months after an assistant district attorney who worked in the same office was gunned down outside the county courthouse.
Police discovered the bodies of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia McLelland, on Saturday at their home in unincorporated Kaufman County, about 35 miles southeast of Dallas, said Lt. Justin Lewis, a spokesman with the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, which is leading the inquiry.
Lewis would not say if the couple was murdered or how they died.
“We’re in the very preliminary stages in the investigation,” he said. “Right now, it’s a death investigation.”
