At Rest

Suicide
Rainey fatally shot his wife in Sweetwater and drove his truck back to his property, located just outside of Trent. DPS Sergeant James Arnwine and Corporal Bill Wheat confronted Rainey at his property. Rainey drove into his barn and shot himself with a .380-caliber Beretta pistol. Rainey's house was in Fisher County; his barn was in Nolan County. Nolan County Sheriff David Warren and Deputy Brock Carter found Rainey's body.
