Trial Begins for Murder Suspect Arrested on Local Campus

FORT WORTH — Testimony is underway in the trial of one of two men accused of capital murder. Fort Worth police say the two men behind the January 2017 murder of a teenager were both students at Tyler Junior College. In fact, the man standing trial, Keoddrick Polk, 21, was literally on his way to class when he was arrested. Police say Polk was looking for the right room on the Tyler campus a week after the shooting when he asked two college officers for directions. They had been alerted and busted Polk on a capital murder charge. Breon Robinson, 17, and another man were shot on the southeast side of Fort Worth by two men who jumped in their car. The capital murder charge carries a prison term of life without parole.
