Tennessee Officers Arrest Suspect in East Texas Killings

RIPLEY, TENN. (AP/Staff) – Authorities in West Tennessee have arrested a man suspected of killing a couple in East Texas. Ripley police Lt. Lynn Gould says officers with several West Tennessee law enforcement agencies were looking for Donny Lee Greenhow in Lauderdale County on Thursday afternoon. Greenhow was arrested in Ripley, Tennessee, according to the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department. Gould says Greenhow was identified after leaving his driver’s license at a gas station in Ripley on Thursday morning. An officer ran his license and found that Greenhow was wanted in connection with a double murder in Van Zandt County. A capital murder warrant for Greenhow was issued after the bodies of Peter Shick, 74, and his wife, Latricia, 55, were found in their mobile home last week. Officers have found Greenhow’s pickup truck abandoned near a fish camp.
