An Indiana man has allegedly confessed to fatally shooting another during an argument insisting he acted in “self-defense” because of the victim’s threatening “tone.”
24-year-old Kenneth King was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly shot 53-year-old Kenneth Lemar Richards multiple times during an argument at their garage.
King called 911 after taking a shower, telling the dispatcher he killed Richard “in self-defense” when they two started fighting over power to the home.
The suspect claimed Richards said “threatening things” before he went upstairs and retrieved a gun.
After he returned Richard “charged at him” leading him to fire a shot. He fired two more times as Richards ended up on top of him during the fight.
King added that he felt in danger because of the victim’s “tone” and that he “had to do what he had to do.”
