Tyler Man Sought In Trooper’s Killing Found Dead

LINDEN, Texas (AP) – Law enforcement authorities have found the body of a 37-year-old Tyler man wanted in the death of a Department of Public Safety trooper.

DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange says Brandon Wayne Robertson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His body was found Thursday off Cass County Road 1347 near Morris Lake.

Robertson was named in a capital murder warrant in the death of Trooper James Scott Burns, who was killed Tuesday night after pulling over a car near Lake O’ The Pines in East Texas.
