Second man arrested in Fort Worth slaying; suspect also accused in December shooting
A second suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder in the killing three weeks ago of a man outside an apartment complex in southeast Fort Worth.
Freddie Scott, 20, was booked early Thursday, according to Fort Worth police records.
Scott and Antwan Griffin-Swanson, 21, are accused in the Oct. 29 shooting death of Jaylon Hardemon, 20, on East Robert Street near South Riverside Drive.
Hardemon was found lying against a curb outside of the Valley at Cobb Park apartments. He had been shot in the head.
Scott also shot Corey Davis, 19, in a store parking lot on Dec. 31, prosecutors have alleged. Scott was indicted on an aggravated assault charge in that case and was released from jail on a bond.
Before the shooting, Scott and Davis had been in an argument in the crosswalk near the Walmart at 2900 Renaissance Square, police have said.
Police have not released a motive in Hardemon’s killing.
