Jury convicts man in 2021 shooting death and robbery of Arlington convenience store clerk, prosecutors say.

Dorian Woodard, 20, received a life sentence and $10,000 fine Monday after he was found guilty in the shooting death of 31-year-old Jordan Hightower.

The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office detailed the shooting in the early morning hours at the E-Z Mart near Matlock and Bardin roads in Arlington. Prosecutors said Woodard went into the store and shot Hightower several times before attempting to open the cash register. He took some items and left the store before coming back for multiple tobacco products and other items, police said.

"This was a senseless act of violence," Assistant Criminal District Attorney Kyle Russo told jurors during the trial.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
