Roger Dale Aliff, 60, of Wichita Falls, Texas, was found bleeding in Lucy Park on October 4, 2016, with gunshot wounds to his right thigh and upper left chest. He was taken to United Regional Health Care System and pronounced dead; the autopsy confirmed homicide and a .25 caliber projectile was removed.

Investigators say Aliff had visited a friend on Avenue I earlier that day. The friend reported receiving a distressed call from Aliff and hearing a male voice yelling at him to empty his pockets. Detectives linked Aliff by phone records to a woman’s number that was in the area at the time. Police allege Aliff was picked up by two men who said they were getting Xanax but instead intended to rob him; witnesses say the robbery was revenge over inappropriate pictures sent to one suspect’s girlfriend.

Two suspects were identified: Brandon Alexander Gilleland and Dustin Todd Hord. Gilleland, 31, pleaded guilty to the murder and received a 30-year sentence under a plea deal. Hord, 40, was charged with capital murder and held on a $1 million bond; his case is pending. The suspects’ Volkswagen Jetta was reportedly driven to Decatur and burned to destroy evidence.

Did anyone who knew Roger or was in Wichita Falls in October 2016 see the Jetta or remember unusual activity near Lucy Park that day?
