Former police officer Shaun Lucas was found not guilty in a 2022 murder trial connected to his fatal shooting of Price in 2020.

  • The mother of the Wolfe City man killed by local police two years ago has filed a civil lawsuit against former police officer Shaun Lucas and the City of Wolfe City. Lucas was on duty for the Wolfe City Police Department when he shot Price in a convenience store parking lot on Oct. 3, 2020. A Texas Dept. of Public Safety investigation found the use of deadly force not justified. Lucas was fired and charged with murder. Last month, a Hunt County jury found Lucas not guilty. The Greenville Herald-Banner reports that Price’s mother, Marcella Louis, has filed a civil suit in the U.S. District Court in Dallas. The Banner reports Louis is represented by John J. Coyle of Philadelphia.
  • Last week, downtown Greenville hosted the 2022 Bras for the Cause art-themed fundraiser for the Hunt County Healthcare Foundation’s breast cancer treatment and awareness efforts. The Herald-Banner reports the event raised more than $90,000 in individual donations and about $270,000 in grants. That’s enough to pay for “Tubby,” Hunt Regional Healthcare’s new mobile mammography coach named in memory of beloved local volunteer Tubby Adkisson.
  • A Hunt County man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexual assault of a child. Thomas Totten, age 62, was arrested on the charge in March 2020.
