September 9, 2011
State Attorney Bill Eddins announced Thursday that prosecutors will seek the death penalty against 25-year old Christopher Eugene Stallworth of New Orleans for the death of Jerry Wayne Ledden.
On August 16, a Grand Jury indicted Stallworth, for first degree murder, burglary while armed, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and grand theft auto.
On July 24, the badly beaten body of Jerry Wayne Ledden was found at his home on Mitchell Lane in the Bellview community by his sister and brother-in-law. Ledden’s Cadillac, guns, and cell phone were missing from the residence. On July 27, Stallworth was arrested on suspicion of homicide in connection with the death of the 65-year-old man.

What happened with the lady that was with him that tried to use the dead man’s credit card at Walmart?
