Marc Allan Mathison, 51, of Hallsville, Texas, was shot and killed on April 14, 2014. His death occurred just one week before he was due to stand trial, a timing that investigators treated as a significant factor while probing the shooting.

East Texas police opened an investigation that involved collecting evidence and interviewing potential witnesses to determine whether the killing was linked to the upcoming trial and to identify any suspects or motives. Public details about arrests, suspects, or related litigation are limited.

The timing of the murder raised questions about pre-trial violence and whether the shooting was connected to Mathison’s pending case. If anyone has information about Marc Mathison, his movements in early April 2014, or potential witnesses, please come forward.
