A man accused in the slaying of Joshua Brown, a witness in the murder trial of Amber Guyger in 2019 who was found killed just days after his testimony, is in a Dallas County jail after evading arrest for nearly four years.
Records show Thaddeous Green, 26, was booked May 18 into a Dallas County jail. He faces a charge of capital murder, and his bail is set at $2 million. It was unclear Wednesday if he has an attorney in the murder case.
Dallas police, the arresting agency, did not immediately respond to an inquiry into the nature of his arrest. Police had not made the arrest public as of Wednesday.
Brown, 28, was fatally shot outside of an apartment complex on Cedar Springs Road just over a week after his testimony. After days of speculation as to whether the slaying was connected to his testimony, Dallas police said Brown was shot in a drug deal gone bad.
Police identified three suspects in connection with Brown’s death, two of whom were taken into custody within a month of the slaying. Green, who was then 22 years old, was identified as armed and dangerous at the time.
According to court records, Michael Diaz Mitchell, 35, pleaded guilty to murder in November in connection with the case and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Jacquerious Mitchell, 23, faces a capital murder charge in connection with the slaying and remains in Dallas County Jail with his bail set at $500,000. His case is still pending, according to court records.
