Diboll Police Department Dedicated To Serving the Community

No further details have been released in this case. So far we do not even have the sex of the victim.

That said there is a family somewhere that has lost a child and the community and our heart goes out to them. Some comments on Facebook have assumed it was a male subject, though I haven't found that in the release.

Diboll is a small, tight-knit community and a tragedy of this scale is not a common thing. The Diboll Police Department reiterated its mission statement on its Facebook page.

The Diboll Police Department is dedicated to serving our community through the protection of life, property, and the prevention of crime. The Department will work to enforce the laws, maintain order, educate the public, and provide public assistance for ensuring the highest quality of life.
