Augustus "Gus" Roberts found dead early Monday morning

Authorities investigating a man's murder at an east Columbia, Missouri rental home have identified him as the son of a Clark County judge.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that police identified the victim Tuesday as 28-year-old Augustus "Gus" Roberts. He's the son of Clark County Associate Circuit Court Judge Rick Roberts. A Columbia police officer says Gus Roberts was unconscious and not breathing early Monday when police received a report of a suspicious person and responded to the home. Emergency medical assistance wasn't successful, and Roberts was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after police found him.

Police provided no other details about how he died. Roberts was a 2008 graduate of Clark County High School.
