Abilene police are investigating the death of a man they said was struck in the head with a baseball bat by his former boss as he tried to force his way into the man's home.
Sgt. Lynn Beard told the Abilene Reporter-News that the 36-year-old man, who was struck on Friday, died Saturday.
Beard said the victim was a former employee of the resident. The two had gotten into a verbal argument, which the resident terminated and then went into his house. The victim then tried to force his way into the house.
Beard said the resident's two children — ages 10 and 15 — were inside the home at the time of the incident.
The victim's body was sent for an autopsy.
