The Corsicana native was shot to death on Sunday morning, Nov. 1. Perhaps best known for his roles in the 2010 Oscar-nominated film "The Kids Are All Right" and the TV show "Surface," Hassell was only 30-years-old.

Anton is currently being held in the Grand Prairie Detention Center with a bond set at $500,000.

This case will be referred to the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office.
