The Robertson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that David Tullos and Lucienda Elliot were booked just before midnight Saturday after being transported from Tarrant County by the sheriff’s office Corrections Division. The two were initially taken into custody in North Texas on unrelated charges. The investigation began Friday, February 6, following a fatal stabbing that occurred just outside Calvert near FM 1644 and Elmo Road. The victim has been identified as Leonard Scott Endsley.

According to investigators, the suspects were located in Fort Worth after being caught stealing copper. Officials said no charges will be pursued related to the copper theft. However, authorities confirmed the suspects were driving the victim’s vehicle at the time, which played a key role in the case. The vehicle was reportedly taken following the stabbing. Sheriff’s officials said they are fairly certain the murder weapon involved in the case has been recovered. The investigation remains active, and additional charges are being prepared as evidence continues to be reviewed. Jail records show Tullos is being held on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle with bond set at $500,000. Elliot is being held on a theft charge with bond set at $15,000. Both are listed as residents of Franklin. The crime scene was processed with assistance from the Texas Rangers, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other law enforcement agencies. Officials reiterated that there is no ongoing threat to the public as the investigation moves forward.
