Just after 7 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2025, Justin Garland, 35, was shot during a dispute on High Street in Newcastle, Texas, and died of his injuries before reaching the hospital. Investigators said the shooting followed an argument between two men who lived at the same address but in separate residences on the property.

Authorities identified the decedent as Justin Garland of Graham. Deputies booked 70-year-old John Edward Rogers, also of Graham, that night; booking records and local reporting show Rogers was processed on August 17, 2025, on an on-view murder charge and an added count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, with a combined bond of $1.03 million. The Texas Rangers joined Young County authorities at the scene and the case remained under investigation.

No other suspects were named in initial reports and officials did not indicate a broader threat to the community. If anyone knew Justin Garland or has information about what happened on High Street that evening, please share what you know.
