La Joya, Texas

A colleague of a South Texas police chief found dead in his patrol car says his boss was having personal problems.

Police Chief Jose Del Angel was found dead in his car on Thursday night. While awaiting autopsy findings, fellow officers believe it was suicide, rather than a homicide.

Officers say that Del Angel was having problems at home. The 44-year-old worked in La Joya for 17 years, starting as a dispatcher and rising to police chief in 2008.

La Joya is located just outside McAllen.
