Two Charged in Texarkana Teen’s Killing

Texarkana police arrested Willie Fobbs, 32, and Ravyn Betts, 28, and charged both with murder in the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Fran’Davion Smith. Investigators allege Fobbs, upset over an unrelated matter, fired at Smith as he walked along Blanton Street and ran into his yard; Smith died at the scene. Police say Betts drove Fobbs around the neighborhood as he looked for someone to confront, knew he was armed, and stayed with him after the shooting without contacting authorities. Detectives say Smith had no known connection to either suspect and describe the killing as a random act; they recovered the vehicle and firearm believed to have been used.
