Dallas, TX – Paul Crockett, 29, has been apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Task Force in connection with the fatal shooting of 53-year-old Steven Jordan outside a gas station in West Oak Cliff earlier this year. The incident, which occurred on January 27 at a gas station located on S. Westmoreland Road, shocked the local community.

Surveillance Footage and Arrest Details

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, surveillance footage from the gas station captured an altercation between Crockett and Jordan shortly after 11:15 p.m. The video reportedly shows the two men arguing inside the gas station before the situation escalated into a physical altercation. Jordan subsequently exited the store, at which point Crockett allegedly pursued him and fired the fatal shots. The affidavit further details that Crockett fled the scene in a newer model Nissan immediately after the shooting.

In February, Crockett was taken into custody for a probation violation. During this arrest, he was found in possession of a 2020 Nissan Versa, matching the vehicle observed in the gas station surveillance video. Additionally, police recovered a 9mm handgun from Crockett, which forensic analysis indicates matches the caliber of the weapon used in Jordan’s murder.

Further examination of Crockett’s cell phone records corroborates his presence near the gas station at the time of the shooting, providing additional evidence linking him to the crime.

Paul Crockett is currently detained at the Dallas County Jail and faces charges of murder in relation to Steven Jordan’s death. The case is under investigation by local authorities to gather additional evidence and ensure a thorough legal process.
