David S. Sartin, 56, of Bullard, Texas, was found unresponsive at his residence on August 2, 2023. The initial response treated the event as a possible medical emergency, but an autopsy later revealed blunt force trauma, and investigators shifted to a homicide inquiry. Detectives conducted multiple interviews and collected evidence from the scene; authorities say forensic evidence and eyewitness testimony pointed to a person known to Sartin who had been in the area around the time of his death.

An arrest was later made and the individual was charged with homicide; officials have not publicly identified the suspect and declined to describe the relationship between Sartin and the charged person. Investigators say the probe is ongoing and that questions remain about motive and whether anyone else was involved. If anyone knew Sartin or has information about his movements or contacts around August 2, 2023, please come forward.
