Texas governor Rick Perry and law enforcement officers from as far away as Britain are expected to attend a public memorial for the Texas prosecutor and his wife gunned down at their home last weekend.
Officials with The Honor Network say an overflow crowd is expected in a suburban Dallas church for the ceremony to honor Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia.
The public memorial will be at 1 p.m. Thursday at First Baptist Church of Sunnyvale. The funeral will be 10 a.m. Friday at First Baptist Church in Wortham. Burial will be at Wortham Cemetery.
Wortham, where McLelland grew up, is 75 miles south of Dallas.
Authorities are still forming theories related to the deaths of McLelland and his wife. Both were found shot to death Saturday in their house near Forney, about 20 miles east of Dallas.
Authorities do not have a suspect in custody and are not ruling any possibility out. No arrests have been made.
Some investigators that spoke to NBC 5 DFW are downplaying earlier theories of a connection between the killings and the Aryan Brotherhood gang. One theory believes the suspect could be described as a "lone wolf" with a "grudge" against the their victims.
