Temple, Texas Man Arrested For This Year's First Waco Murder

It is always a tragedy when someone is senselessly murdered especially after it occurs following a fight that was already happening around 5 AM that then escalated. Hopefully everyone affected by this horrific event will be able to find some healing, and nothing like this ever happens again.

Buhl was arrested yesterday, March 13th by the Waco Police Department following the weeks long investigation, and the function of the justice system is just in the beginning stages of our legal process.

Short of a speedy confession, these types of criminal proceedings usually take a great deal of time to reach their final resolution.
