SAN ANTONIO – A man was found not guilty Tuesday in the shooting death of another man in 2021.
Tavares Anderson was on trial on a murder charge in connection with the shooting death of Malcolm Everett.
Defense attorneys told jurors that Anderson shot Everett in self-defense during an argument.
The defendant supported his defense claim when he took the witness stand.
“I don’t know what I said. I think I said, ‘Bro, don’t run up on me.’ And he grabs me. I go back, and I’m falling back. And I know I get the gun up, but before I hit the ground, I hear pop, pop, pop. It never fired that fast before, and that’s what I’m thinking I hear,” Anderson told jurors.
Jurors apparently believed Anderson and after a short deliberation found him not guilty.
