MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas (KLTV) - Police arrested a Mount Pleasant man who is accused of shooting and killing his father Monday.
The investigation began when officers with the Mount Pleasant Police Department were called to a home on Red Springs Avenue where they were told a man was unconscious and bleeding, according to a press release.
When they arrived, they found Rodney Harris, 51, had died from gunshot wounds. Detectives and officers later identified Rodney Harris’s son, Azion Jayden Harris, 19, of Mount Pleasant as a suspect, the release said.
He was ultimately arrested and taken to the Titus County Jail and charged with murder, possession of a controlled substance, and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
