Antonio Cochran has been charged with capital murder in the death of Zoe Hastings. (Dallas County Jail)

Staff writer Christina Cox reports:

Police on Monday released the arrest warrant affidavit for the Dallas man charged in Zoe Hastings’ slaying.

The probable-cause affidavit (posted below) for Antonio Cochran does not add much to what our Naheed Rajwani and Julie Fancher reported on Saturday.

Investigators still have not said how Hastings died or what led U.S. marshals to the northeast Dallas apartment where Cochran was arrested. The document says only that his description matches that of a witness who saw a man get into a minivan with Hastings. Also, her blood and his DNA were later found on evidence found in the vehicle.

A police spokesman also characterized him as a “sexual predator” in a news conference Saturday, though he has not yet been charged with a sex crime in the Hastings case.

Cochran, 34, remains in the Dallas County Jail, charged with capital murder. His bail is set at $2.5 million.

Also Monday, WFAA-TV (Channel 8) posted an interview with the teen’s parents. Jim and Cheryl Hastings said that while they are relieved an arrest has been made, their focus is on their family, not on Cochran.

“There’s a sense of relief, obviously. At the same time, that’s not what we were most concerned about,” Jim Hastings told WFAA. “What we’re most concerned about is that our children are going to be able to go back to school and that they’re going to be able to handle the loss of their sister.”
