A judge decided that a 16-year-old can be tried as an adult for the murder of loving husband, father, and small business owner who was simply loading his SUV with groceries.
They want justice for their father's death, and they wanted the teenager tried as an adult.Last November, Ali Elbanna was shot and killed while loading groceries in the parking lot of the Costco off Park Lane in Northeast Dallas. Last week, the judge heard the prosecution's side.They said the teenager has a history of violent crime, starting when he was 12.
The defense called just one witness to testify Friday, a licensed psychologist with the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. Elbanna was the last victim in a violent crime spree that day in November 2021, that included the aggravated assault of three other people.Three other suspects, all adults, were riding around in a stolen pickup truck looking for targets, police said.
But in closing arguments, the prosecution pointed out that Range has been in the juvenile justice system since he was 12 years old and was already on probation, wearing an ankle monitor, at the time he is accused of murdering Elbanna.
