A 23-year-old Texas man is charged with capital murder after authorities say he stabbed a Dallas man 55 times while helping him move out of his apartment.
Ethan Isaiah Rodriguez, of Dallas, is charged with capital murder, evading in a motor vehicle and possession of marijuana, according to a news release.
He is being held on a combined $1.25 million bond, according to Dallas County Jail records.
Rodriguez was allegedly helping 28-year-old Mason Raymond Davis move out of his Dallas apartment on Saturday, when the alleged murder occurred, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by affiliate FOX 4.

Surveillance video showed the pair moving items between the apartment and Davis’ vehicle, before capturing Rodriguez leaving the apartment at about midnight in Davis’ vehicle on his own, according to court documents.
Dallas police responded to the apartment for a welfare check on Sunday because Davis missed work and could not be reached, according to the affidavit. Once in the unoccupied apartment, they found he had been stabbed 55 times.
