Liberty County Authorities Will Pursue Death Penalty
Liberty police say the district attorney's office will seek the death penalty for Stevie "Bubba" Walder.
Walder is charged with capital murder for the shooting death of a Liberty convenience store owner on Christmas.
50-year-old Naushad Virani was found with a gunshot wound to the head behind the store counter.
Investigators say Walder fled the scene. He was arrested two days later in Woodville.
Walder is in the Liberty County Jail on a $2 million bond. He's isolated from the rest of the inmates, because he had been causing problems. But authorities say he continues to harass jailers.
Police say the motive for the murder was robbery. And although authorities believe Walder was a white supremacist, they don't believe the crime was racially or religiously motivated.
