Yikes. This guy owned the hardware store I used to go to when I lived in San Antonio. I knew him by sight but never really talked to him, other than a few pleasantries. Homicides are certainly always a little bit different if you know who the victim is, aren't they. This happened on Saturday and still not much info. Odd.

Shop owner died of cut to throat (San Antonio Express-News)
a bit more at linkA man found dead in his mobile home Saturday was killed by having his throat slit and his death was officially ruled a homicide, according to the Bexar County medical examiner's office.
Police released little information at the scene of the slaying of Jerry Augustus Collins, 68, whose girlfriend discovered his body around 7:30 a.m. when she went to his neighboring trailer in the Circle B Mobile Home Park at 842 Corinne Drive on the Northeast Side.
That morning, neighbors and relatives said Collins owned Rittiman Hardware, a shop behind his home on Eisenhauer Road.
