McLennan County DA: Investigation into West paramedic reveals no link to explosion
There is no evidence linking a jailed former paramedic to West’s deadly fertilizer explosion, the McLennan County district attorney told the Waco Tribune-Herald.
District Attorney Abel Reyna said he had reviewed a report from The Texas Rangers to determine if the state should file charges against Bryce Ashley Reed and found no connection to the blast.
“Based on the review I have completed thus far, I have seen no evidence linking him to the fire and subsequent explosion. But I still have additional material to review,” Reyna told The Waco Tribune-Herald.
Reyna was the first official to speak publicly and deny Reed’s involvement in the blast since the 31-year-old was arrested in May for possessing pipe bomb materials. Investigators and other authorities have remained mum, even as Reed’s lawyer and family denied any connection to the blast and called on investigators to clear his name.
