Roy Linder III, 26, was shot and killed on January 13, 2017, at a residence on East Avenue H in Nolanville, Texas. The shooting happened about 11:00 a.m.; Linder was pronounced dead at the scene. The altercation reportedly began as one person was moving out and involved multiple roommates.

Cynthia Holowatsch, 50, a roommate who was not romantically involved with Linder, was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. She was held in the Bell County Jail with bond set at $100,000 and later indicted on first-degree murder charges. Police said a civil standby had taken place shortly before the shooting but released few details about what specifically triggered the fatal escalation. Holowatsch invoked her right to remain silent when questioned.

If anyone knew Roy, his living situation, or observed the events at the East Avenue H residence that morning, please share what can help clarify how the argument turned deadly.
