Johnson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a homicide that occurred in the small community of Lillian.
Deputies responded to a shooting in the 8200 block of Kramer Street and located an adult male suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was transported to a Mansfield hospital, but pronounced deceased.
Officials say a woman called 9-1-1 to report her son had shot her husband.
“During the initial investigation, detectives interviewed family members, witnesses and the juvenile suspect. It is believed the juvenile was protecting his mother from being further assaulted,” said the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident remains under investigation.
