The desired element is an Angular element so to locate and click() the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use either of the following Locator Strategy:
xpath1:new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[@class='align-middle cursorPoint' and text()='Shelton']"))).click();xpath2:new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[text()='Shelton']"))).click();
Update
To achieve the same in a step-wise manner:
WebElement elem = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//td[@class='align-middle cursorPoint' and text()='Shelton']")));
elem.click();

@ArjunBharadwaj No, we are not **storing** the variable, rather we are locating and invoking `click()` at the same go. Check the updated the answer with steps. – undetected Selenium May 29 '19 at 08:09
