A Rowlett man has been sentenced to the maximum punishment after pleading guilty in connection with the February 2019 homicides of two people in Royse City.
Calvin Earl Rayford, 20, had previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of capital murder of multiple persons, but offered the open plea of guilty in August 2020 to a reduced charge of manslaughter and agreed to testify against Dearis Rayvone Davis of Arlington, who is charged with capital murder in the case.
An open plea means no plea bargain agreement has been arranged in the case and that Rayford is subject to the full range of punishment.

Eighteen teams of volunteers picked up trash along 14 miles of roadway in the Pike Road community during April, filling up at least 114 bags of litter.
A gas cap to an older-model car, and vintage candy bar wrappers and soda bottles were just some of the interesting items found along the roadside, said Turner Waddell, Pike Road communications specialist.
“We have so many blessings in the Town of Pike Road, and one of them is the beautiful landscape of our community. Each year, the Spring Cleanup provides an opportunity for our community to work together to be good stewards of our natural surroundings,” Mayor Gordon Stone said. “We are so appreciative of the community engagement illustrated by the record-setting participation in our 2021 Cleanup effort.”
