Round Rock Man Charged With Murdering His Father In Early Morning Shooting Incident

ROUND ROCK, TX — Travis County Sheriff's Office officials on Sunday disclosed the identity of a homicide victim discovered over the weekend, and revealed the victim's son has been arrested in connection with the death.

On Sunday at around 3:40 a.m., sheriff's deputies responded to multiple 911 calls about an incident involving a vehicle in a field along the 11000 lock of Gregg Lane. Upon arriving at the scene, deputies found the body of a black male in his 40s next to the vehicle. The dead man had a gunshot wound, sheriff's officials said.

A subsequent investigation revealed that two adult sons of the victim emerged as suspects in the death. Within hours of a search to locate them, the men were found and interviewed by detectives. As a result, Tabyes Sauls, 23, of Round Rock was charged in the man's murder.

The victim has been identified as Leonard Coolidge Sauls III, 45, officials said.
