OAK LEAF - Law enforcement officials were releasing few details regarding the
murder of a ranch hand around 12:30 p.m. early Saturday afternoon, Dec. 2.
Nahun Rangel, 25, was pronounced dead about 3:50 p.m. Saturday afternoon after
being transported to Baylor Hospital in Waxahachie.
Rangel's body was transported to the Dallas County Medical Examin-er's Office
for an autopsy.
Justice of the Peace Jackie Miller Jr, Pct.2, said the initial autopsy report
stated Rangel died from injuries received from a 'shotgun wound to the upper
body.'
Charged with first-degree murder in Rangel's death, Stephanie Robert-son, 37,
bonded out of the Wayne McCollum Detention Center in Waxahachie after posting a
$2,500 bond
'There are some circumstances involving this case that led me to believe that an
appearance bond (as this was) would be fine,' Miller said.
Ellis County Sheriff Capt. Danny Williams said he could not comment on the
motive or circumstances involving the shooting.
Williams did reveal Rangel was killed at a friend's house.
