Sherman Police are investigating a homicide in which one adult died early on July 10, 2026, the department said. The case opened at about 3:38 a.m., according to Sherman Police, and drew officers to more than one location as they began their work.
The department said the investigation covered several scenes and named two of them. One was the east service road of U.S. Highway 75 at Taylor Street. The other was the 1300 block of West Taylor Street. From the start, Sherman Police described the matter as a homicide investigation involving one adult who had died.
The department's first public account of the situation concerned traffic rather than a death. Before it confirmed that someone had been killed, Sherman Police asked drivers to avoid the U.S. 75 east service road and the area around Taylor Street, pointing to an active investigation and temporary road closures. In that earlier update, the department said officers were also stationed across from the Splash Aquatic Center, in the 1200 block of West Taylor Street, while the investigation continued.
Sherman Police said the case would stay active through the weekend. The department said it was holding back additional information because the investigation was ongoing.
Apart from this case, Sherman Police keep a public page listing the city's older unsolved major cases. It includes a 2023 homicide in which a victim was found in the 1500 block of North Grand Avenue, a killing the department still records as unsolved. Sherman Police also publish annual reports laying out the department's budget together with its crime and calls-for-service figures, the local records a resident can use to measure one case against the city's longer-term trends.
