Teen fugitive from Texas is charged with murdering a 70-year-old in Georgia in order to steal his car

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 who was trying to pick up his car near a liquor store on Metropolitan Parkway.

The unnamed victim was hospitalized after the shooting. He was declared dead.

Mosley was arrested shortly afterwards.

FOX 5 Atlanta spoke with a local who said he was truly amazed that someone so young would commit such a brazen act.

“I’ve always seen people here, but I’ve never seen violence or anything like that. So it was really a surprise for me,” said Hermon Baaqar. “We have too many guns and actually shoot people for no reason. You act like us in the old, old West.”
