BELLVILLE, Texas (AP) – A 20-year-old Texas man has been charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of five family members, including a 2-year-old niece who also was decapitated. Maron Thomas of Bellville is accused in the weekend deaths of his mother, stepfather, sister, brother and niece. He’s jailed under a $1 million bond and it wasn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney. Investigators alleged Wednesday that an ongoing family dispute led to the shootings, but declined to give details. The bodies were discovered Sunday in their single-story home in Bellville, a town of about 4,000 people 55 miles northwest of Houston. ‘
