A man and his stepson will have their murder cases tried together beginning on Wednesday.
Williams Blankenship, 61, and Lane Wootan, 25, are accused of the murder of Josh Fowler in December 2020.
Wootan’s mother, who is Blankenship’s wife — Jennifer Blankenship — was also arrested for the crime, but has chosen to have her case tried separately.The affidavit said a witness told them he saw Fowler run out of the home as a vehicle pulled up with the three suspects inside.Williams Blankenship had his gun in a holster and was carrying two clubs in his hands, the affidavit said.
The witness told sheriff’s investigators that Fowler and Wootan began to fight in the backyard, and at one point, Williams Blankenship handed Wootan one of the clubs to use against Fowler. The affidavit said the witness told investigators he heard shots, one that sounded like a handgun and one from a rifle, ring out around the same time, and then saw Fowler fall to the ground, screaming.
As he ran to help Fowler, Jennifer Blankenship threatened that he would end up dead if he called the police, the witness said.The murder trial for Williams Blankenship and Wootan will be tried in the 226th District Court by presiding Judge Velia Meza.
