Mark Sexton Jr Wiki – Mark Sexton Jr Biography

A 23-year-old Tennessee woman was shot to death at a convenience store where she worked the midnight shift just hours after she raised concerns for safety, and a father and son have been charged with her murder. Tava Woodard, a clerk at Roadrunner Market on North Broadway in Johnson City, texted friends and coworkers on June 2 about a shoplifting incident and said she wanted to find a new job, People reported. A short time later, two masked men identified as Mark Sexton Jr., 41, and his son Mark Sexton III, 18, entered the store and robbed him of money at gunpoint, WJHL reported.

“The two men then walked to the door, but as they were leaving, one of the men turned and fired a pistol shot, striking Ms. Woodard,” according to an affidavit cited by the outlet. When the police arrived eight minutes later, they found her body lying on the ground. Officers found a 9mm casing and two blue nitrile gloves in a nearby alley, WJHL reported. The gloves matched those worn by the suspects in the surveillance video.

Another glove was found near the Sextons’ home, about nine blocks away, according to the station. After posting screenshots of the duo, police received information that “one of the subjects appeared to be Mark Sexton Jr.”, according to an affidavit. Workers at a nearby laundromat told investigators that Sexton Jr. and his wife had worked there, describing the clothing and gloves in the store as matching those worn by the suspects.

Police obtained a warrant and stopped a vehicle with an expired registration in which the father was driving with his wife and another person. They later discovered robes and other clothing in the house that matched items seen in the convenience store video, as well as blue gloves and a 9mm round with the same stamp as the casing located at the scene.

Charges on Mark Sexton Jr

Sexton Jr. was charged with first degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, and driving an unregistered vehicle. His son was charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, and tampering with evidence. Woodard’s mother, Melissa Jones, told People how her daughter felt about working at Roadrunner Market.

She texted me that she didn’t feel safe there anymore,” she said. “From what I heard, none of them felt very safe; this is all over the place so i’ll go ahead and say it. All of his co-workers have stated that the “panic button” under the counter did not work, and was not even connected.” The devastated mother said Woodard “had no opportunity to contact anyone to help her” during the crime.

“What will she do? Take her phone and make a phone call? And there is no “panic button” attached. What is she supposed to do by herself? I won’t go into details, but the police told me that she was very calm, very collected, and they were surprised to hear how old she was and how well she kept her composure and calm,” Jones told the magazine. She said the family has received a tremendous amount of support after the death of her daughter. “I didn’t realize what a huge impact she had on everyone else as well,” Jones told People.

“I got so many messages and phone calls from people who cared about her, talking about how wonderful she was of her and what a shining light she was to them. She always had a smile on her face and everyone found so much comfort in being around her. … To know that the rest of the world saw that in her is just amazing,” she said. Woodard recently sent her sister Addie Blazer, 15, a meme that read: “If I die, don’t you dare drop a bunch of balloons. I want you to plant flowers for me, so she can continue to grow,” the outlet reported.

The family is asking people to plant flowers “so we can keep her alive and keep her with us,” her mother said. Johnson City Police Chief Billy Church told WJHL: “In my nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience, this case is one of the most heartbreaking I’ve ever come across.”Read More…..
