Texas authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a Connecticut state trooper by a Maine man during a hunting trip along the Rio Grande River over the weekend.

The victim, 50-year-old Stephen Davis of Hebron, Connecticut, was a 27-year veteran of the Connecticut State Police.
Chase and Davis were in the same party hunting wild boar on the Cinco Ranch in Maverick County around sundown Saturday. Chase told police he thought he was shooting at a wild hog in the brush and didn’t realize it was Davis, who investigators said was wearing a black shirt.
