Texas police have made an arrest in the🍨 fatal shooting of actor Eddie Hassell in Dallas last weekend.
Grand Prairie police say they arrested 18-year-old D’jon Antone on a capital murder charge Wednesday in Dallas, He is currently being held on a $500,000 bond at Grand Prairie Detention Center; he does not have an attorney listed for his representation.
Hassell, 30, was shot in a Grand Prairie apartment complex around 2 a.m. Sunday. Officers found him suffering from gunshot💃 wounds and rendered first aid, but he was pronounced dead at an area hospꦑital.
Initially, Hassell’s rep told Variety that the actor was shot in an attempted carjacking. A car was stolen and later recovered, but Hassell was not in it at the time of the shooting; he had been retrieving something from the parking lot, and “was just a victim of wrong place, wrong time,” police spokesman Mark Beseda told the AP.
Hassell was best known for roles in NBC’s “Surface” and 2010’s Oscar-nominated “The Kids Are All Right.” His most recent appearances were in two 2017 films, “Oh Lucy!” And “Bomb City.”
