ATLANTA - FOX 5 Atlanta has learned more about a teenager wanted in Texas who police say shot and killed a 70-year-old man during a carjacking in Atlanta on Saturday.
Jaylen Mosley, 19, reportedly had warrants out for his arrest in Harris County in Houston, Texas, when he allegedly attacked an elderly man to take his car near a liquor store on Metropolitan Parkway.
The victim, who has not been named, was rushed to the hospital after being shot. He was pronounced dead.
Mosley was arrested shortly after.
FOX 5 Atlanta spoke to a local man who said he was genuinely stunned that someone so young would commit such a brazen act.
