GARLAND (WBAP/KLIF News) – A man from Garland has been sentenced to life in prison for beating his girlfriends’ ex-boyfriend to death with a toilet tank lid.
Braylon Ellis, 27, was charged with capital murder in the death of Tommy Brown, 51.
After deliberating for two days, the jury convicted Ellis of murder, but not capital murder.
Brown was discovered in his home in Fort Worth in Sept. 2013. He was face down in a hallway with his hands tied behind his back and his head was covered with a white bag.
Ellis was sentenced by the judge to life in prison.
A co-defendant in the case, Eunice Rodriguez, is awaiting trial.
