PLEASANTON, Texas -- Former Atascosa County Commissioner Tommy Shearrer was found shot to death Wednesday morning.

Officials say a passerby called 911 after finding Shearrer dead inside his truck along the side the road near FM 3006 and St. Augustine Road around 8:15 a.m. Wednesday.

The Atascosa County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death as a homicide. Investigators say they are looking for man identified as 19-year-old Manuel De Los Reyes Galeas as a person of interest in the case and said he is considered armed and dangerous.

Shearrer was 50 years old. He was married and the father of two children. He was also a rancher in the area and very active with city and county.

I'll bet the commissioner was pulling a Jerry Sandusky. What other reason is there for a 50 yr old man to be parked on the side fo the road very early in the moring with a 19 yr old boy in his car??

It's another day folks,but for the Shearrer family the loss and hurt is atill there.Whether the victim was white,black,brown or whatever skin color, we all have family and friends that care.So, that being said,stop pointing fingers, life is too short to waste our time on skin color or race.There is good and bad in all races, all economic status!! God Bless America and thank God for all our military defending our freedom!!

@210bro, who ya talkin about? The victim or the "person of interest"? Either way, I don't see any similarities to the GZ case. Want to fill me in on your thoughts/opinions.
