Devine PD investigates possible homicide

Medina County dispatch received a call for a welfare check for a Devine resident on Sunday, January 12 around 11:14 pm. Devine PD responded to the residence in the 1300 block of Windy Knoll in Devine where they sadly found 78-year-old Lloyd Fowler deceased.

“The man had a single gun shot wound,” said Lieutenant Chris Andrews. “Any questionable death is investigated as a homicide. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.”

Devine PD added that “the anonymous caller refused to identify their names upon first contact with dispatch.”

Medina County Sheriff’s Office as well as the Texas Rangers will be assisting in this investigation.

The case remains under investigation, and you can look for updates in this Wednesday’s print edition of The Devine News.

For now, Devine PD wishes to assure residents that “there is no threat to the general public.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with all involved in this tragic situation.
