Blanton is accused of shooting 32-year-old Krysten Connally five times in her head May 9 in the driveway of a home in the 3200 block of Hillpoint Lane in Dayton. Witnesses and neighbors reported that the two argued before the shooting, and that Blanton was Connally’s ex-boyfriend. Blanton left after the shooting, but turned himself into police later that day.
Their child, a 4-year-old, is now in the care of family members, Dayton police Lt. Jason Hall said in May.
Blanton is due back in court on August 25.
