Larry Dewayne Kirby, a 39-year-old white man from Maud, Texas, died from a gunshot wound on June 21, 2022. The shooting happened about 7:54 p.m. in the 500 block of Birch Street in Maud. Kirby was found lying in the roadway, bleeding heavily; emergency personnel tried life-saving measures but he died from his injuries. Before he died, Kirby told the 911 caller that his brother-in-law, 50-year-old Billy John Scott of Maud, had shot him.

Scott fled the scene but later spoke to investigators by telephone and agreed to surrender. He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Bi-State Jail on a murder charge. The Bowie County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation; bond had not been determined in the press release.

Was anyone in Maud aware of a dispute between Kirby and his brother-in-law that evening, or does anyone have information about what happened on Birch Street that night?
