A 46-year-old man questioned in the killings of two Texas county prosecutors remained behind bars Sunday following an arrest on charges of making a terrorist threat, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Investigators have questioned Eric Williams, a former justice of the peace, several times but authorities have not identified him as a suspect in the murder of Assistant District Attorney Mark Haase or the slayings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife. 

“We have not named any suspects, prime suspects, or persons of interest in the case,” Lt. Justin Lewis, a spokesman with the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, said on Sunday. “The investigation continues and all leads and tips continue to be worked.”
