A murder warrant has been issued for Billy Dupree Owens in the death of Amrit Tejan, 21, who was found dead in his vehicle on May 21 just before 1 a.m.
The red, two-door Saturn had left the roadway and struck a tree in the 4200 block of Bobtown Road. Police say Amrit was killed as a result of a gunshot wound.
