Possible Suspect in Last Year’s Kilgore Shooting Death

KILGORE — Officials say they have identified a suspect in a Kilgore homicide that happened almost a year ago. Investigators say they are not yet releasing the suspect’s name. Renee Garrett, 25, was found dead with a gunshot wound to her torso just after midnight on January 10 at an adult video store in the 1900 block of Industrial Avenue. Garrett worked at the store. In addition to the slaying, an unknown amount of money and a cash box were taken from the store in the attempted holdup, officials said. Kilgore police Lt. Roman Roberson said Wednesday that DNA evidence taken from the scene confirmed the identity of one of the three suspects who was involved in the robbery and homicide.
