The Shocking Details of the 2001 'Windshield Murder'
The crime that led to Mallard's conviction was horrific and involved a profound failure of human empathy. On the night of October 26, 2001, Chante Mallard was driving her green 1997 Pontiac Grand Am in Fort Worth, Texas, after consuming a dangerous cocktail of alcohol, marijuana, and Ecstasy. She was driving on a long curve from East Loop 820 to U.S. 287 when the incident occurred.
Under the influence, Mallard struck Gregory Glenn Biggs, a 37-year-old homeless man who was walking along the highway. The impact was so severe that Mr. Biggs was propelled through the car’s windshield, coming to rest with his body partially lodged in the passenger seat and his legs draped over the hood.
Driving Home with the Victim
What happened next is what truly defined the case and led to the murder charge. Despite the victim being clearly visible and likely still alive after the initial impact, Mallard did not stop to call for help. Instead, she drove her car several miles back to her home. Her decision to continue driving with Gregory Biggs impaled in her car was a shocking display of negligence and panic.
Upon arriving at her residence, Chante Mallard parked the Pontiac Grand Am in her garage. She then closed the garage door and left the victim, who was still alive and bleeding profusely, to die slowly over the next two days. Evidence presented at trial indicated that Mr. Biggs likely died from blood loss hours after the initial collision, while he was trapped inside her garage.
The Cover-Up and the Accomplices
Two days after the hit-and-run, Mallard finally decided to dispose of the body. To carry out this gruesome task, she enlisted the help of two friends: Reginald Brooks and Caine Antonio Jenkins.
The three individuals drove the car to a local park, where they removed Mr. Biggs’ body from the windshield. They then dumped his remains in a wooded area in Tarrant County. To further conceal the crime, they set fire to the Pontiac Grand Am in an attempt to destroy the blood evidence and the shattered windshield.
The case began to unravel when Mallard bragged about the incident at a party approximately four months later. One of the attendees, who was a friend of Mallard’s, eventually reported the story to the Fort Worth Fire Department. The information was then passed to the police, who quickly located the burned-out car and the victim's remains, leading directly to Chante Mallard’s arrest.
Justice for Gregory Glenn Biggs
Chante Mallard pleaded guilty to the charge of tampering with evidence but maintained a plea of not guilty to the murder charge. Her defense argued that the death was a tragic accident. However, the jury ultimately rejected this argument, finding her guilty of murder due to her deliberate decision to leave the severely injured man to die in her garage.
In June 2003, a jury sentenced her to 50 years for the murder of Gregory Glenn Biggs, with a concurrent 10-year sentence for the tampering with evidence charge. The two accomplices, Reginald Brooks and Caine Antonio Jenkins, were also convicted and sentenced for their roles in concealing the crime and disposing of the body.
Chante Mallard's Current Status and Parole Eligibility (2025 Update)
Chante Jawan Mallard has been incarcerated for over two decades, serving her sentence within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) system. She is currently housed at the Murray Unit in Gatesville, Texas.
The most pressing and timely information regarding her sentence revolves around her parole status. The 50-year sentence means her mandatory release date is scheduled for March 3, 2052. However, Texas law allows for the possibility of parole after a certain amount of time served.
According to the latest detention records, Chante Mallard’s Parole Eligibility Date is March 4, 2027.
This date marks a critical point in the case. While she is eligible to be considered for parole by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, it does not guarantee her release. Given the high-profile and heinous nature of the 'windshield murder,' any parole hearing in 2027 is expected to draw significant public and media attention. The victim's son, and the public at large, will likely have the opportunity to submit testimony opposing her release.
The Chante Mallard case remains a powerful and tragic reminder of the consequences of driving while intoxicated and the moral failure to render aid to a victim. Her story has been the subject of numerous true-crime documentaries and even inspired the 2007 film *Stuck*, ensuring that the details of the Fort Worth tragedy continue to be studied by criminologists and true-crime enthusiasts worldwide.
