Converse man charged with murder, leads police on high-speed chase

A Converse man was charged with murder Monday in connection to the stabbing death of a 53-year-old man in Comal County. The incident took place Sunday, but Davis wasn’t arrested until Monday after a police pursuit that ended in New Braunfels.

Authorities accuse 20-year-old Brody Tyler Davis of stabbing and killing Kyle Leonard Foster near the 4000 block of South Cranes Mill Road in Canyon Lake.

The Comal County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area around 10 a.m. Sunday after a resident called 911 to report that a man was laying on the side of the road dead with a possible neck injury.

Detectives later identified the man as Foster and discovered that his gold Toyota Camry was stolen.

On Monday, deputies located the vehicle traveling down FM 2673 in Startzville with Davis at the wheel.

Davis then led deputies on a high-speed pursuit through Sattler and FM 306 into New Braunfels. Units with the New Braunfels Police Department deployed a spike strip near FM 306 and Hunter Road, stopping the pursuit and allowing officers to arrest Davis.

He was taken into custody and admitted to the stabbing, according to the sheriff’s office.

Davis was charged with first degree murder and evading arrest.
