AUSTIN, Texas â Police in Texas say theyâve arrested a former sheriffâs deputy wanted in the shooting deaths of three people.
Alyssa Broderick was named along with her boyfriend, Willie Simmons III, as two of the former cop’s victims. Alyssa was still in high school and Willie had graduated and was in college.
They were named by their school district, Elgin ISD. The third victim is believed to be Stephen Broderick’s estranged wife,
Amanda Broderick.
Broderick was a cop until June 2020, assigned as a sheriff’s detective with
Travis County in Austin, Texas, when he was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a child.
The Statesman reports that the victim was identified as a family member.
Shortly after his arrest on June 6, Broderick was released from custody after posting a $50,000 bond and told not to go within 200ft of his daughter, Alyssa. The disgraced cop who had spent 16 days in jail before posting a $50,000 bail and released had been put on unpaid admin leave. Upon his release from jail, the sheriff’s detective resigned.
