Round Rock Woman Charged With Murder In Husband's Shooting

ROUND ROCK, TX — Round Rock police on Tuesday charged a woman with murder after the shooting death of her husband last week.

The charge of murder stems from the fatal shooting of Justin Silas, 43, along the 1900 block of Provident Lane on June 26 following a domestic disturbance with his wife. Police ascertained the shooter's identity early on, but were mulling over whether the woman would be charged while securing her anonymity.

By Tuesday, police confirmed the woman, Tyesha Tanner-Silas, 37, has been formally charged with murder after what officials described as a "thorough investigation." She has since been booked into the Williamson County Jail on a $500,000 bond, police said.

An adult male subsequently was rushed to the hospital for medical treatment but was pronounced dead upon arrival, police spokesman Nicholas Oliver told Patch via email. By Friday, June 28, police identified the dead man by name.
