Garland officers responded to the report of a man being shot this afternoon just before 3 p.m. in the 5200 block of Welbeck Court. When officers and paramedics arrived they found 65-year-old Ray Keech dead inside the residence.
Detectives were called to the scene to begin the investigation. From what detectives have learned so far they believe 31-year-old Joseph Robic went to his mother’s home to visit her. When he arrived she was not home but her live-in boyfriend, 65-year-old Ray Keech, was there.
Detectives believe the two men began to argue and the argument turned into a physical altercation. During the altercation Robic pulled a pistol he had on his person and shot Keech. Robic then called 911 and reported the shooting.
Robic was taken into custody and is being held on a charge of murder. Bond has not been set.
