Tina Combs, 44, of Arlington, Texas, was found dead on June 25, 2015, in a home rented in Kyle, Texas. The Kyle Police Department responded to a welfare check at 810 S. Sledge St. and discovered Combs in the master bedroom and 45-year-old renter James Wright in a hallway. The official autopsy attributed Tina Combs’s death to gunshot and stab wounds; Wright died instantly of a gunshot to the head.

Two suspects were identified early in the investigation: Larry Simon, a former employee and roommate of James Wright, and Ryan Kidd. Larry Simon was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder and held without bond; the prosecution later asked for more investigation and a judge dismissed the capital murder charge in March 2024. Friends and family voiced frustration about the case’s slow progress and limited communication from the small local police department.

There are still unanswered questions about motive and how Combs and Wright came to be together at that address. Does anyone have information about either victim’s movements in Kyle in June 2015 or knowledge of contacts who might help explain why they were at that residence?
