Robert Joseph Pellerin III, 35, of Temple, Texas, was found dead at his workplace, O'Reilly Auto Parts, on March 14, 2018. He and 25-year-old coworker Cody Glenn Cornell were discovered in the store’s back office, bound with duct tape and shot in the head; Pellerin was shot twice in the head with a shotgun.
Investigators identified 47-year-old Theodore Dwayne Sims, a former employee of O'Reilly and NAPA Auto Parts, as the suspect. He was arrested shortly after the killings and was also charged in an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon at NAPA that same day. Sims had been fired from NAPA for stealing cash under $100 and was reported to have purchased the shotgun used in the murders on the day of the killings.
The brutality of the double killing had a profound impact on the community and the victims’ families. Does anyone have information about Pellerin, Cornell, or their routines at the store that could shed light on the day of March 14, 2018?
