On the morning of April 18, 2023, in Franklin, Texas, 39-year-old Cody Albers was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso and head at his residence on Red Rock Road. Emergency dispatchers had received a report of gunfire around 9:46 a.m., and Robertson County Sheriff’s deputies discovered him at the scene. He was pronounced fatally wounded.

Authorities arrested his wife, 36-year-old Brittany Albers, at the residence and charged her with murder; she was booked into the Robertson County Jail and later released after posting a $500,000 bond. The couple’s four young children were placed with other family members. Investigators described the shooting as an isolated incident and said there was no prior reported history of domestic violence between Cody and Brittany. The district attorney’s office has said court proceedings have been delayed by a backlog and the case remains pending.

Cody’s sister, Casey Foley Albers, has urged the community to remember him, describing him as fearless, protective, and devoted to his family. If anyone knew Cody or has information relevant to this case, please come forward.
