DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Homicide detectives have arrested Richard Ramon Angton, 31, in connection with the killing of a man in West Dallas.

Joseph Taylor, 44, was shot multiple times about 1:30 p.m. Friday at 4027 Westmoreland Road. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital by Dallas Fire Rescue where he died shortly after arrival.

A witness who was at the location with Taylor before the shooting identified Angton, according to police.

Police say they believe a handgun found at the location next to the victim was fired by Angton.

An officer who responded to the scene asked Taylor who shot him as he lay injured on the ground. He replied, "Rashaud," said the officer.

He was arrested just after midnight Saturday. His bail has been set at $150,000, according to court records.
