Aaron Wayne Ainsworth, 20, of Bronson, Texas, was found dead on April 4, 2021, at an abandoned house off U.S. Highway 96 in San Augustine County, north of Bronson. He was last heard from on April 3. Authorities described the death as senseless and said Ainsworth lost his life over foolishness.

Two men, David Whitehead, 31, of Nacogdoches County, and Bryan Johnson, 30, of San Augustine County, were arrested and charged with murder. An affidavit says an unnamed witness told investigators Whitehead gave the witness a pair of bloodstained blue jeans and a shotgun while picking up Johnson, and the witness identified Ainsworth with Whitehead on April 3. The Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers investigated the case.

Ainsworth’s family and friends remembered him for playing PlayStation, fishing, listening to music and attending Harmony Baptist Church. Does anyone have information about Aaron’s last known movements or who might help fill gaps in the timeline?
