DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – A capital murder warrant has been issued for 17-year-old Jayden Blanton, accused of fatally shooting a man outside of a gas station near Executive Airport on August 20.
The 35-year-old victim was on his way home from work when he stopped at a convenience store on Ledbetter Drive for gas. He was robbed and shot to death.
