TX BMX legend, 58, allegedly shot dead employee before killing himself
A Texas BMX legend has been found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after allegedly shooting dead an employee in his bike shop during an argument. Wesley Don Johle (pictured left), 58, was discovered by police at his Rowlett home shortly after the body of James Kincheloe (pictured right), 40, was found inside the Garland shop on February 16.
There was no sign of any forced entry. Surveillance footage from inside the shop showed 'enough probable cause' to suspect Johle (pictured), said Lieutenant Richard Maldonado of Garland police. Investigators are now trying to work out what happened in the moments leading up to Kincheloe's death.
Johle was one of the most celebrated BMX racers in the U.S., with 50 national BMX titles to his name and over 500 career wins. He retired in 1985 and opened the bike shop, which was owned by his mother. In 2012, he was one of the first seven to be inducted into the Texas BMX Hall of Fame.
