Ronald D’Andre Horne, 30, was found with a gunshot wound in the roadway on the 2900 block of John Porter Drive in Killeen, Texas, on the morning of August 15, 2026. Killeen police responded to a shots-fired call at about 10:07 a.m.; Horne was pronounced dead at 10:34 a.m. by Justice of the Peace Gregory Johnson. Family and friends remembered him as a man building a credit business and on the verge of greater success.

Detectives from the Killeen Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division treated the shooting as an isolated incident and identified a person of interest quickly. The Bell County District Attorney’s Office later charged 28-year-old Deundra Deon Gaines II with murder; he was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Michael Tice, had bond set at $1,500,000, and is in Bell County Jail.

Are there details from that morning or about Horne’s activities leading up to August 15 that anyone can share?
