At Rest

Suicide
Deputies and a warrant officer of the 118th District Court went to a residence to serve a warrant. Rawls, the owner of the residence, fled the officers and shot himself in the chest with a .38-caliber revolver. The man named in the warrant was Rawls's tenant. Rawls was mentally-ill and believed that he was under surveillance. Texas Ranger Michael Parker investigated.
This record exists so that Billie Odell Rawls, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
