Two New Murder Victims Found In Temple, Texas

Temple, Texas averages less than 6 murders per year, so when two bodies are found at the same time in what is being classified by the Temple Police Department as a double homicide, you immediately begin asking what is happening on the east side of town?

I drive right past Henderson Street almost every single day picking up my kids from childcare, and have never once felt unsafe while traveling anywhere along East Avenue H. That section of town, like many in Temple, is experiencing a recent surge in development, but much of the area still feels very rural.
