Elvin DaShaun Worthey, a 31-year-old man from Temple, Texas, tragically lost his life on December 26, 2020. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when Temple police responded to a shots-fired call in the 900 block of North 2nd Street. Upon arrival, they discovered Worthey's body at the scene. The investigation revealed that Worthey was the victim of a shooting.
Following the incident, Temple police launched a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances
surrounding Worthey's death. On December 30, 2020, a warrant was issued for the arrest of 27-year-old Demetrius Rush in connection with the murder. Rush turned himself in to the Temple Police Department on January 20, 2021, and was subsequently charged with Worthey's murder. He was taken into custody and transported to Bell County Jail.
The case was further advanced when the Bell County Grand Jury indicted Rush for the murder of Worthey in April 2021.
