Follow-Up: Triple Murder Suspect Captured

In a followup to yeterday’s story, Stephen Nicholas Broderick, the ex-Travis County Sheriff’s deputy wanted for murdering three people, was arrested.

Authorities have arrested the former law officer wanted in the shooting that left three people dead and launched a massive manhunt.

Stephen Nicholas Broderick, 41, was arrested Monday morning around 7:30 a.m. without incident approximately 20 hours after the shooting, Manor Police confirmed. They did say Broderick had a pistol at the time of his arrest, but no shots were fired.

Broderick was found between Manor and Elgin on Old Kimbro Road just south of Highway 290 after at least two 911 calls reporting a suspicious person. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office took the lead with the arrest with Manor Police assisting.
