Tommy Shearrer, former Atascosa county commissioner, 5th Generation well-loved son of Pleasanton, community volunteer and acclaimed innovator in cloud seeding program found dead.
Shearrer’s death which occurred on San Augustine Road near Farm Road 3006 in Pleasanton is still under investigation by the Atascosa County Sheriff's Office. Investigators said they have identified a person of interest, 19-year-old Manuel De Los Reyes Galeas. Bexar County officials believe that Galeas could have been involved in an incident earlier in Bexar County and may have also been in a vehicle that overturned on Highway 281 Wednesday morning. The suspect may be on foot or could have been picked up. Bexar County considers him armed and dangerous.
Tommy Shearrer, was many things – a successful rancher, a Sunday school teacher, a community volunteer extraordinaire, Atascosa County Commissioner 8-years running and a fifth generation well-loved son of Pleasanton. He also received national acclaim as an innovator in a cloud seeding program and was recently featured on the ABC-News program Nightline speaking on that topic. He also played a featured role in the critically acclaimed film Owning the Weather. Owning the Weather told the story of weather modification in the United States. Shearrer, played a key part in this film by adding his perspective to the many-sided debate illuminated by the film. As head of the Southwest Texas Weather Modification Association (STWMA), Shearrer oversees the cloud seeding program, which attempts to artificially stimulate large-scale precipitation. Areas of weather modification include precipitation enhancement, hail suppression and fog dispersal. During filming, Shearrer was also serving a term as president of the national Weather Modification Association from 2006-2007.
