Sheriff's Lt. Justin Lewis said the murders are believed to be related. Forney Mayor Darren Rozell said the McLelland murders appear to be a “targeted attack” related to Hasse’s death.
McLelland was reportedly a visible and personable person in Kaufman County, just southeast of Dallas, in the tight-knit community of 15,000 people.
The FBI, Texas Rangers and local Texas police are currently investigating the murders.
