Wesley Dean Brooks was 28 and from Bowie, Texas when he was killed on October 31, 2014. He worked in a remodeling business with Scott Allen Cambre and Cambre’s father. After finishing a job that night Brooks was driving Cambre’s pickup with Cambre as a passenger. While the truck was in motion Cambre shot Brooks above his right ear, then climbed into the driver’s seat and drove to his residence. Cambre attempted to dispose of Brooks’ body by placing it in a trash burning pit; Bowie police discovered the burned body the next morning and opened an investigation.

Scott Allen Cambre was arrested and charged with murder; bond was set at $1 million. In January 2016 Cambre pled guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Brooks’ mother, wife, and sisters delivered victim impact statements at sentencing describing the family’s loss and pain.

Does anyone have information about Brooks’ last day or the remodeling job that might shed light on what led to this killing?
