DALLAS, Texas — This morning at 7:55 a.m., Dallas Police officers responded to several stabbing attack calls near Fair Oaks Crossing and Walnut Hill Lane.
The victim, who had no identification, appeared to have been jogging on the trail.
He is described as a white male 25 to 30.
He was found on White Rock Creek Trail with injuries consistent with a large edged weapon.
The victim was transported to Presbyterian hospital, where he died from his injuries.
The suspect in the murder, 21-year-old Thomas Johnson, is a former Texas A&M football player.
He reportedly admitted to committing the crime and has been arrested and will be charged with Murder.
The suspect told investigators he chose his victim at random.
In November of 2012, Johnson was a freshman receiver at Texas A&M. He went missing from campus and was eventually found safe in Dallas after three days.
From WFAA: Investigators said Johnson admitted to the crime and was apparently upset about being evicted from his home recently.
Multiple people witnessed the murder and called police. Officers responded to the trail near 8500 Walnut Hill Lane within minutes.
“He just attacked him. He told our homicide detectives that he was angry about a situation and he just picked somebody to murder. I believe there’s more to that story. It’s just very unusual. It’s quite shocking,” Dallas police Deputy Chief Rob Sherwin said.
Earlier today, shortly after the fatal hacking, police found the body of a murdered woman who was missing since leaving her home for Church. Police say the killings don’t appear to be related.
