Murder in the Hill Country


The investigation goes on.


Canyon Lake body ruled homicide victim

-

A man’s body found by Comal County Sheriff’s deputies Wednesday night that was first listed as “suspicious” has now been ruled a murder victim.

The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy and determined the cause of death as a homicide Thursday.

Deputies found the man, Charles Dwayne Woodard, 28, of Canyon Lake, at about 9 p.m. in the 9400 block of Farm-to-Market 2673 near some mobile homes. Investigators said Woodard had multiple stab wounds, but they would not disclose the amount of wounds or where Woodard was stabbed, said Lt. Mark Reynolds, a CCSO spokesman.

The case is still under investigation, but there are “some possible leads,” Reynolds said. Investigators have not identified a motive or names of suspects yet.
