A Texas BMX legend has been found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after allegedly shooting dead an employee in his bike shop during an argument.
Wesley Don Johle, 58, was discovered by police at his Rowlett home shortly after the body of James Kincheloe, 40, was found inside the Garland shop on February 16.

Investigators are now trying to work out what happened in the moments leading up to Kincheloe's death.
