Brandon Astor Jones was sentenced to death for the June 17, 1979 murder of 29-year-old gas station manager Roger Tackett. Jones and Van Roosevelt Solomon were arrested at the scene after an officer just happened to drive up and heard gunshots. In the storeroom, the officer found Tackett’s body. He had been shot in the arms and legs and beaten before the fatal shot was fired into his skull.

Partner was executed by electric chair in 1985, if anyone’s curious. Not sure how this guy got to live an extra thirty years. Hopefully he's spent it usefully.
