Agriliance employee beaten to death

Seagraves, Texas-An Agriliance LLC employee was assaulted in the early morning hours March 25 at the company warehouse here. He died later in the day at a Lubbock, Texas, hospital. Robert Bryant, 54, was a long-time employee of the location, working as a fertilizer plant operator and truck driver. Agriliance said April 3 that an investigation by Seagraves law enforcement and the Texas Rangers continues, and the company is fully cooperating to enable a full and complete investigation. Speculation was that Bryant, the first to arrive at work, may have surprised a burglar. His own wallet and money were reportedly not taken.
