Man arrested for murder of 4-year-old boy

A Texas man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 4-year-old boy in August 2022. Brady Dillon Michael Burkett was arrested by Randall County Sheriffs today, July 4, 2024, and charged with murder.

Details surrounding the case are a bit scarce at the moment, and we don’t know at this point what happened, but more details are sure to be revealed in the coming days.

This isn’t the first time Burkett has found himself in a sticky situation. Burkett was charged with being a serial arsonist in DuBois in 2018.

Sandy Township Police investigated six separate fires at Country Place Trailer Court that occurred from February 16 to May 30, 2018. Fortunately, the homes were all vacant at the time they burned.

Burkett eventually pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to 13 months in state prison and ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution.

At his sentencing, Burkett told the judge he was “not a bad person” and that he was sorry. Surveillance footage captured him at the residence on May 30, walking from his address to the trailer that was on fire and then back to his residence. He confessed to all the fires when questioned.

More details will be available soon on the murder charge against him, as well as any details given regarding the murder.
