BREAKING NEWS - SUSPECT FOUND - Wise County Sheriff David Walker said that officers today (Wednesday, Jan. 10) found the body of murder suspect Antonio Zarate Limon, 44, near Alvord. Walker said that Limon’s body was found under a tree by the railroad tracks in a field near the Hot Skillet Restaurant. Limon shot and killed his wife, Maria Limon, early Jan. 3 as she arrived at the restaurant where she worked as a cook. Walker said it was not immediately apparent how Antonio Limon died or how long he had been dead. “We will have to wait for the medical examiner to give us the cause and time of death,” Walker said. Antonio Limon had fled the murder scene with a rifle used in the killing and law enforcement officers had conducted an extensive search for him, including the area where his body was found today.
