He was found dead in the building which also houses the Shackelford, Hawkins & Searcy law firm. A 27-year old, Jestin Wayne Hooker, who also lived there and who appears to have been a former client of Mr Wallace’s practice, was arrested for the murder. Unidentified sources have said that Mr Wallace had been beaten to death with a golf club. The medical examiner in Lubbock said that Mr Wallace had suffered ‘blunt force traumatic injuries’ and declared the death a homicide. Source: ABA
