ARAPAHO, Okla. (AP) — Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for a Texas man charged with shooting two people to death as they drove on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma.
Custer County prosecutors provided notice Friday — exactly one year after the shooting — that they'll seek the death penalty for 37-year-old Jeremy Doss Hardy of Pasadena, Texas.
Police say Hardy was driving on I-40 west of Oklahoma City when he opened fire at other vehicles, hitting and killing 45-year-old Kent Powell of Arapaho and 63-year-old Billie Jean West of Lone Wolf. Powell and his wife were driving from the Oklahoma City airport following a business trip while West was returning from Christmas shopping.
The notice was given to defense attorneys after a judge found there is enough evidence to order Hardy to trial.
