A Lubbock, Texas, man was shot and killed while arguing with his ex-wife over their child custody arrangement, and it was all caught on cell phone video.
The incident unfolded on Nov. 5, according to attorney Matthew L. Harris, who is representing the victim's widow. Harris says the footage was filmed by Jennifer Read.

A man not leaving when told to leave is not a sufficient reason to intimidate him with a gun and then shoot him, especially when he was there to get his rightful legal custody of his son.
The smaller guy should have called the police and had them remove him. No one needed to die over this bunch of stupidity. The son didn't need his father killed.
How does the idiot ex-wife feel? Court orders are to be obeyed, precisely to avoid this kind of thing. “Sorry, son. New daddy killed old daddy because I’m a manipulative c*nt.”
“I’m not sure it’s so clear-cut.”
What is clear, is that the shooter had both time and opportunity to dial 911 when he left to get his firearm. We would have to ask him why he did not do that.
That said, it was the shooter’s private property. The angry ex-husband was asked to leave repeatedly, and did not, and made repeated advances while threatening and menacing the shooter and the woman.
Castle doctrine? Stand your ground? I would not vote to convict.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Teal guy should have left the property when told to due so and called the police over the custody order. The gun owner was dealing with an obviously hostile and intemidating INTRUDER. Teal guy was clearly the agressor.
And you are sure things would not have escalated before Police had arrived. How many times have we seen the very same scenario and the boyfriend beaten or dead the wife beaten and hostage and the child a hostage as well?
Both men are jackasses, but this was the woman’s fault.
The ex was there at the proper time & place for his pickup of the child. The child wasn’t there. Bitch set him up.
Both sides should have called the police.
Teal guy was clearly the agressor.
Disagree. He looked relatively non aggressive given the circumstances.
Both men are jackasses, but only one is alive, and he is also a murderer.
By "escalated" do you mean someone goes inside and gets a gun for an argument? Clearly things did escalate.
How many times have we seen the very same scenario and the boyfriend beaten or dead the wife beaten and hostage and the child a hostage as well?
If that were the man's intent, he could have simply done that right away. Even if the little man thought the big guy would hurt him, why did he get up so close to bump chests?
I see the little man as a d@mn hot head who escalated to 11 when the situation didn't call for it. This was a pissing contest. If the little man was afraid, why did he bump chests with the big man?
Stay back 10-20 feet and threaten to shoot if the big man advances. *That* is what a frightened man would have done. This was an angry man.
This was all about not looking like a punk in front of the woman. It's two Rams butting head in front of a female.
I agree. I saw the video before.
The woman should be charged as an accessory.
Well, going upto a person holding a rifle, coming into physical contact, receiving a warning shot and STILL closing in an attempt to take the rifle is DAMN agressive in my sight.
Chances are he is a lardass. My superior mobility and baseball bat should impose my will just fine.
A knife within 21 feet justifies shooting.
I've got all those bases covered.
I'm not any kind of a badass but I do have a plan and am ready for just about anything at all times whether in church or out walking the dog.
I used to prey upon the predators for a living but they were generally just run of the mill sociopaths.
Going straight to the option of last resort is for old men who cant fight or pansies.
One has a good excuse, the other goes to prison.
I’ve watched both videos. On one you cannot see the victim as he was shot. But on the other it is pretty clear the victim was standing still and not advancing when the stepdad backed up and shot him. The stepdad should have just gone in the house and called the police. Instead he escalated the argument by going and getting a gun, despite the evidence that the victim wasn’t threatening him or anyone else with physical harm.
Proverbs 16:18.
Proverbs 29:18
Yeah, well Sam Colt called that the “Great Equalizer”. The big guy should have learned how to handle himself, and not to throw his size like a bully sometime around High School.
Guess he finally learned!
And your language was rather crude. Upset that someone blew out the big guy’s lamp? Is that your fave technique looking kinda dangerous?
Never spent much time in Lubbock I see...
now one is going to be judged by 12 instead of carried by 6, the other is never going to have his day in court against his ex and her manipulative ways.. She's the one who got the 2 together, she planned it. shes a #1 C*NT
