Dallas police are investigating the bizarre death of a man who they say asked a friend to shoot him so he could blame his injuries on his ex's new boyfriend and gain custody of his son.
Police said Dwayne Moten, 20, was shot Saturday. He was driving a car in Dallas, stopped at an intersection and got out of his car, screaming for help.
"He yelled he had been shot," a police spokeswoman said.
Police arrived on scene and found Moten was suffering from "several gunshot wounds."
Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse told Fox News that Moten was shot by a friend and alleged it was all so Moten could blame the shooting on his ex's new boyfriend.
"He wanted custody of that child and he was willing to take a bullet to get custody of the child," Janse alleges in a video on the Fox website.
Moten died from the injuries. His friend, Jacob Wheeler, 20, has been charged with murder.
"There's legal ways to get custody of a child and taking a bullet, and ultimately dying, is definitely not one of those ways," Janse said.

I hope that they keep the circumstances of his death from his son until he’s a man who can deal with the issue.

Police arrived on scene and found Moten was suffering from "several gunshot wounds." Sounds like his buddy didn't fully understand the concept...what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Another case of terminal stupidity. Hope his kid got his mom’s brains, not his dad’s.
