Cops: Texan killed by teens after alleged reckless driving
Comments 0 | Recommend 0WYLIE — Police say five teens are charged with murder in the beating death of a Dallas-area man who argued with them about reckless driving in his neighborhood.
Wylie police Detective Venece Perepiczka (vuh-NEES' per-PETCH'-kuh) said the suspects were arrested in Wylie and Garland and remained in custody. She did not immediately return a message Monday from The Associated Press.
Police say 28-year-old Jonathan Bird of Wylie was fatally beaten around midnight Saturday after exchanging words with some youths in a truck.
Four boys are juveniles, age 16. One is an adult, 17-year-old Ethan Dorris of Wylie.
Dorris was in the Collin County Jail on bail of $250,000. A jail officer, who declined to provide his full name, said no attorney was listed for Dorris.
Wylie is 20 miles northeast of Dallas.
