Larry Deshaun Baker, 43, of Madisonville, Texas, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the driveway of a home in the 5400 block of County Road 2526 in Royse City, Hunt County, on November 13, 2022. Royse City officers arrived about 5:45 AM and Baker was taken to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 43-year-old Eric O’Bryant of Royse City, who was renting the residence, as the primary suspect. O’Bryant reportedly fled into nearby woods before officers arrived; he was seen by a resident the next morning carrying a rifle and was taken into custody without incident. He was arrested on a warrant for possession of a controlled substance and booked into the Hunt County Detention Center.

Two other people, 28-year-old Brooke Rice and 34-year-old Elem Wynne III, both from Huntsville, were charged with tampering with physical evidence after investigators say they removed a weapon from the scene and were booked into the Hunt County Detention Center. The homicide investigation remains ongoing and will be forwarded to the Hunt County Grand Jury when complete.

If anyone knew Larry Baker or saw activity in the County Road 2526 area that morning, please come forward with information.
