According to authorities, a woman who claimed to have been kidnapped and drugged by a Texas man shot him mortally.
Lance Damon Reid, 49, of Houston, was discovered dead in a truck near Fredricksburg, according to a Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office press release.
On March 15, about 12:45 p.m. CDT, a 45-year-old Montgomery woman called for help, claiming she had been drugged and kidnapped, according to KVUE-TV. She also admitted to shooting someone and identified Reid’s vehicle as well as the weapon she used, according to the sheriff’s office.
