Rodney B. Kilman, 50, of Tyler, Texas, was found dead from gunshot wounds at about 10:21 p.m. on December 31, 2018, inside the front door of his home on the 10,000 block of County Road 283 off Highway 271. His wife, 47-year-old Tena Kilman, also suffered gunshot wounds and called 9-1-1 saying she had been shot; she underwent surgery and was reported in stable condition afterward.

Deputies reported the wounds to both matched evidence at the scene, and investigators say the shooting arose from a domestic dispute between Rodney and Tena Kilman. No arrests had been made and investigators referred the case to the Smith County District Attorney’s Office for presentation to a grand jury. The Smith County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
