Joshua Lowe
Texarkana Texas PD

A Northeast Texas man wants a new trial following his conviction in Bowie County last week in the death of his infant stepson. A jury found 29-year-old Joshua Lowe of Texarkana guilty of capital murder, felony murder, and injury to 11-month-old Javontae Neely. The child’s mother, 25-year-old Christy Wedgeworth, is awaiting trial on charges of bodily injury by omission to a child.
