The father of SMU record-setting quarterback Justin Willis was fatally shot while in
Dallas. Samuel Willis of Denton was the victim of a home invasion murder late Friday at a residence he was visiting. He was 46.

Sandra Willis says her husband was a psychiatric technician and counseled adolescents dealing with substance abuse problems.

Dallas Police say one was arrested and the investigation continues.

Justin Willis was the 2006 Conference USA freshman of the year and set numerous school passing records in 2007. Willis, entering his senior season, is now a wide receiver for the Mustangs. His 57 touchdowns are the most in the program's history.
