An Alabama man who threw a party at his Dallas County home had been fatally shot while trying to break a fight between some of his guests Sunday.
It was at around 1:30 a.m. when Jerry Rayford, 57, was shot dead after asking the gunman, Tracy Mosley, to leave the party for disturbing the party.
“Rayford heard a commotion going on out of his residence and when he approached, he noticed that there was a male subject later identified as Tracy Mosley that had gotten into it with some females,” Sheriff Mike Granthum said.
“Some exchanges went on so Mr. Rayford came out and told them, ‘Hey, you need to leave. No commotion at my house. I don’t tolerate that down here.’”
Mosley, 42, reportedly shot Rayford six or seven times with a .40caliber handgun. He also injured another victim.
“Mr. Mosley said that it was self-defense and all this, but we’ve yet to a gun on the homeowner. He just wanted people to enjoy it and have a good time.”
