Shawn Chudej, 34, of Gholson, Texas, was shot three times in the back with a 12-gauge shotgun at close range and died on May 8, 2016, in Waco while being transported to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center. The shooting followed a family dispute with his father-in-law, Charles Mitchell, that was reportedly about land.

Mitchell was arrested and charged with murder and child endangerment; the latter charge was filed because a 5-year-old child was present and the gun was fired nearby. Mitchell’s bond was set at one million dollars on the murder charge and an additional half million dollars on the child endangerment charge. The case report notes Mitchell’s wife disarmed him after the shooting and that Mitchell called police.

Does anyone have further details about the dispute or witnessed this incident who can help piece together what happened?
