An Early man was shot and killed after being pursued by and exchanging gunfire with law enforcement officials Saturday in Wichita Falls.

The deceased was identified as 45-year-old Anthony Scott Nelon of Early.

According to a story on texomahomepage.com, Wichita County Sheriff David Duke said the incident started Saturday night in Archer County when deputies responded to a report of a domestic disturbance, where Nelon, in a Dodge Challenger, led them on a pursuit along U.S. 281 into Wichita County.

Wichita County deputies intercepted the pursuit and used spike strips to disable Nelon’s vehicle but he continued. An Archer County deputy used his truck to stop the car on Windthorst Road but Duke said Nelon refused all commands to get out of the car.

After a brief standoff, Nelon came out of the car with a firearm and pointed it at law enforcement leading to an exchange of gunfire that left Nelon with multiple gunshot wounds and a DPS trooper injured.

Duke said there was an attempt to render aid, but Nelon was pronounced dead at the scene.

The trooper was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.

The investigation is being led by the Texas Rangers.

Court and jail records show no felony arrest for Nelon, only one minor traffic charge in Comal County and in the 1990’s, a few minor arrests in Wichita County. Records show he was granted a divorce in Wichita County in 2012.
