A 40-year-old man is charged with capital murder after he allegedly attacked a another man with an axe while he was driving and then ran him over last week.
According to an arrest affidavit, the victim, later identified as 53-year-old John Walker Oden, was driving Brian Christopher Davis and a woman to the hospital in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Oct. 3.
The woman told police that she and Davis were staying with Oden at the time, but he had told them they could no longer live at his residence. She said Davis attacked Oden with a “battle axe style hatchet” from the backseat of the car. He took control of the steering wheel and pulled into an auto repair shop along MoPac in northwest Austin, court documents said.The woman got out of the car with her dog, fearing for her own life. She said as she fled from the scene, she could hear Oden “pleading for his life.”
Detectives obtained security video of the area that showed the car pulling into the driveway. A man can be seen pulling someone from the driver’s seat and throwing him to the ground. He then gets in the car and “purposefully drives over the victim, causing additional injuries.” Davis was reportedly arrested later that afternoon on a robbery charge. He is being held in the Travis County Jail on a combined $1.55 million bond.
