GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — The family of a slain sheriff's deputy in central Oklahoma has spoken out about their loss and announced their support in seeking the death penalty for the man accused of killing him.
David James Wade, 40, was shot while serving an eviction notice in Mulhall on April 18, The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/2t9mK6s ) reported. He died from his injuries that day.
Forty-five-year-old Nathan Aaron LeForce is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and larceny of a motor vehicle. Logan County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas says she's seeking the death penalty in the case.
"Let there be no question that we fully support District Attorney Thomas's decision to pursue the death penalty," said Jerry Wade, David Wade's brother. "I have every faith that the justice system will deliver what my brother and those left behind missing him rightfully deserve. The scales will be weighed and evil will reap what it has sowed."
