According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the information was among a number of new details revealed about the deaths of Kevin Lorenzo Stephenson and Dekeilen Joe Nelson. Police have charged 50-year-old Craig Deallen Davison, 36-year-old Dustin Charles Bennett, and 19-year-old Patricia Francine Baker with capital murder. They are each being held on $2 million bond in the Gregg County Jail. Davison and Baker, both of Hallsville, were transported to the Gregg County Jail on Monday. They were held over the weekend at the Harrison County Jail in Marshall. Bennett is from Longview.

According to the affidavits, during interviews with investigators, “Bennett provided details surrounding the deaths of Nelson and Stephenson that only an individual who was present at the time of their deaths would know, such as the location of where they were struck with the gunshots and the number of rounds fired.” On the morning of March 23, Longview police responded to railroad tracks off Estes Parkway, where a Union Pacific work crew discovered the bullet-ridden bodies.
