DALLAS — On Friday, video from a Dallas courtroom showed a man being dragged out after an outburst during sentencing for his role in the kidnapping and killing of a 13-year-old girl.
Desmond Jones was found guilty of organized criminal activity for the 2017 kidnapping and murder of Shavon Randle. Four men face charges in connection to her death.
