A Texas politician, Denton County Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell, was injured in a violent attack that resulted in the death of her husband, Fred Mitchell. Their grandson, Mitchell Blake Reinacher, has been arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The incident occurred at their home early Monday morning. Bobbie Mitchell is recognized for her contributions as Lewisville's first Black mayor and for her lengthy public service, which has garnered community support during this tragedy. Local officials, including Denton Mayor Gerard Hudspeth, have expressed condolences to the family.
This is a heartbreaking tragedy and I extend my sincerest condolences to the Mitchell family. Commissioner Mitchell has spent years supporting the residents of Denton County.
Bobbie Mitchell was Lewisville's first Black mayor, elected in 1993. She held that office until resigning in January 2000 to run for Denton County commissioner.
