COLBERT, Okla. (KOCO) — A 13-year-old Oklahoma boy is in custody in a Texas juvenile detention center after authorities located the body of a woman in a Bryan County home on Friday.
Officials with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation reported that they were called to assist in a homicide investigation by the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 6:45 p.m. Friday, Bryan County deputies responded to a home in the 500 block of Sims Road in Colbert on a reported death, according to a news release.
At the scene, deputies located the body of a 31-year-old woman who “suffered injuries consistent with homicide.” Investigators determined the boy was a person of interest in the death, according to the news release.
An alert was issued by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for the teen, and authorities later determined that the boy was “south of the Oklahoma/Texas border,” according to the news release.
Multiple agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Denison Police Department, began searching for the boy. He was located at about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday by Grayson County deputies and taken into custody, according to the news release.
Officials said there were “no other suspects at large at this time,” according to the news release.
Officials said the investigation into the woman’s death is ongoing and that OSBI investigators will provide their findings to the Bryan County District Attorney’s Office, which will determine if any charges will be brought against the boy.
