Longview Homicide Investigation Continues

LONGVIEW – Longview police continue their investigation of the deaths of two men. The bodies of Dekeilen Joe Nelson, 20, of Gilmer and Kevin Lorenzo Stephenson, 28, of Henderson, were found shortly before 8:45 Wednesday morning along a section of railroad tracks near the intersection of Estes Parkway and South Eastman Road. Both men had been shot to death. Police say they say they have no suspects in the case. Police spokeswoman Kristi Brian tells the Longview News Journal it’s unclear if the deaths are related to Longview gang activity. Investigators have not said if the men had been shot there, or were shot elsewhere and bodies dumped where they were found. There have now been four homicides in Longview this year.
