The woman then said she left the home and went to a nearby gas station, where she found Deputy Joshua Wright with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Wright testified that he saw visible injuries on the woman and got her statement. 

Wright attempted to follow up with Keylon at the home but was refused, so he later applied for a felony warrant for Keylon’s arrest.

The jury reportedly learned during the punishment that Keylon has two prior felony convictions from two separate counties for strangling women he was dating.

It was also reported Keylon assaulted a Huntsville Police Department officer shortly after being arrested for the strangling.

Keylon was also convicted many other times out of state for Driving Under the Influence and convictions for Possession of a Controlled Substance and Obstructing a Police Officer.

The jury gave Kaylon a 50-year sentence after considering all the evidence.
