Allison Paul Clark VI remains in the Bexar County jail on murder charges Tuesday after stabbing his 71-year-old father to death Saturday in an apparent domestic dispute before turning himself in.
Clark, 34, walked into the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department about 9:30 a.m. Saturday and told officials he had just stabbed his father, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
Fair Oaks Ranch Police responded to the home at 29374 Duberry Ridge and found Allison Paul Clark III, 71, a retired U.S. Army veteran, dead from apparent stab wounds.
Fair Oaks officers maintained the crime scene after notifying the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, which arrived to lead the ongoing investigation.
A knife found in the kitchen sink is believed to be the murder weapon, according to the sheriff’s office.
Clark admitted to police he had fatally stabbed his father, the BCSO said. Clark is being charged with murder and is being held in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a $200,000 bond.
City Manager Scott Huizenga praised his department’s response and handling of the situation.
“I commend our officers for their quick response both within the department and at the scene,” Huizenga said. “I also want to thank Bexar County for its ongoing partnership to keep the community safe.”
Mayor Greg Maxton added, “Fair Oaks Ranch is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in Texas. While events like these are tragic, they are also rare.
“The immediate response from our team of dedicated officers and the support of our residents ensures such tragedies, when they do occur, are contained. There is no further danger to our residents,” the mayor added.
