A 19-year-old man accused of shooting and killing a Sam Houston High School football player last September at a homecoming party is claiming self defense.
DeAngelo Morton said Thursday from Tarrant County Jail that he and members of his gang began fist-fighting with a rival gang at the party when he saw Quintarick Wilson retrieve a gun.
Morton, who was carrying a weapon in his waistband that night, fired his handgun, killing Wilson and injuring three others. He admits to trying to injure all four.
"I was trying to shoot all of them," Morton said. "I was trying to save myself."
