David Wayne Harrison Jr., a 40-year-old man from La Grange, Texas, was shot to death and found in his apartment over Memorial Day weekend on May 30, 2021. The killing followed an argument involving the daughter of Charles Lee Tillman Jr.; Harrison had been dating the woman’s mother. Tillman, who was on parole at the time, confronted Harrison at his residence and shot him through the apartment’s screen door.

Multiple agencies investigated, including the Texas Rangers and the La Grange Police Department. Surveillance footage and phone records were used to link Tillman to the scene. Tillman evaded arrest for several months before being captured on November 9, 2021, in Killeen, Texas, and was later charged; at trial the jury found him guilty. The trial record presented a prior violent history for Tillman, including a 14-year sentence for assault of a family member, and the jury imposed life in prison with no parole for 30 years.

Harrison’s family has pushed for justice and has spoken of establishing a scholarship fund in his memory to help local children. Does anyone have information about Harrison’s life in La Grange or was in the area that weekend who could help fill in missing details?
