4 men arrested, charged with capital murder in connection to DeSoto shooting

DESOTO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) — DeSoto police arrested four men they believe are connected to a July 15 shooting that left a young man dead in his own home.

Deharvian Arthur, 22, of Arlington, Edron Blacknell, 22, of Cedar Hill, Xavier Dixon, 23, of Dallas, and Calap Williams, 23, of Arlington, have all been charged with capital murder and are being held on individual bonds of $1 million.

On July 15, 2022 at about 2:00 a.m., officers responded to a call from the 600 block of Canyon Place about shots being fired. They arrived to find Theo Stith, 24, had been shot and killed.

Just outside of Stith’s home, police found Dixon with a gunshot wound to his leg. He was given first aid and taken to the hospital by DeSoto firefighters.

Police did not release a motive, say how the men all knew one another, nor elaborate on who shot Dixon. They did say that all of the suspects in this case are now in custody.
