Man shoots girlfriend's ex-husband dead

Submitted by Clay Thorp on February 1, 2013 - 12:34pm

One man is dead after he was shot during a domestic disturbance in Village Mills, north of Kountze.

According to a Hardin County Sheriff's Office press release, Troy Marshall, 50, forced his way into the home of his ex-wife, Denise Marshall, 47, after he had been drinking and began to choke her.

Denise’s live-in boyfriend, who police identified as Wallace Hooks, 22, made for a .40 caliber handgun and fired several shots, killing Troy Marshall before police arrived.

The shooting is still under investigation and no arrests have been made, the press release said.

Troy Marshall MURDER

This story is more than fishy... it STINKS. I sure hope Hardin County Officers get the truth out of those two. Don't know if it is drugs or greed (divorces include property settlements). Don't believe this "boyfriend" is NEW... betcha she had him hanging around for 2+ years. Also wonder who was loading what onto a trailer out of the back of the house Sunday Afternoon.

Rest in peace Troy

I have worked with Troy for almost nine years and to hear of this has truly hurt me.A man who has always done what he could to help other people shot down this way is saddening.He leaves a lot of co-workers (friends)stunned wondering why and how this could have happened>I know I speak for all when I say that I hope the "real" truth comes out and that Troy can rest in peace. He will truly be missed.My condolences to to his daughter and the rest of his family.

I have know Troy and Denise for close to 35 years. I can tell you this is not the way he was. As for Troy's wife Denise and her boyfriend maybe you should drug test them. I bet you will find crack. That is what this was all about.

Mr.Marshall was a very nice man. He and my mother were very close friends. Just reading and hearing about the murder doesn't truly makeany sense. Mr.Marshall was the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back. I wish I was old enough to step up and say something. Anybody who see this and is old enough please step up and say something. We all just hope that they get toqto the bottom of it.

I worked with Troy in the past, your description is very fitting. Something about this case does sound very fishy. Hopefully after the investigation more questions will be answered. Regardless of the outcome, I will be praying for Troy and his family.
