No Reason to Kill Russell S. Smith s second nonfiction book revolves around a murder that some say robbed San Angelo Texas of its innocence. Twenty-year-old Sheila Elrod was shot to death during a jewelry store robbery on February 12 1980. Police officers collected evidence and detectives pursued anything that even looked like a lead but it was 21 years before a persistent Texas Ranger and DNA technology would place a suspect behind bars. Noted author and newspaper columnist Ross McSwain wrote the introduction.
