A man with a lengthy criminal record in Missouri and in San Diego is jailed without bond this morning, charged with killing a 71-year-old Hallsville man.
Morgan County prosecutors have charged 50-year-old Chad Armstrong with first degree murder and armed criminal action, and he’ll be arraigned at 9 tomorrow morning in Versailles.
The victim in this case is 71-year-old Beauford Wilson of Hallsville. Graphic court documents say Mr. Wilson was shot multiple times, including in the head. The court documents indicate Wilson was likely murdered at a different location and transported to a different scene in his own vehicle. Armstrong owns a home less than a mile from where Mr. Wilson’s body and truck were found, according to court documents.
