An argument began when the victim accused the suspected shooter and a friend of damaging his pick-up truck, investigators said.
LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas -- A man was shot to death after an argument about a pick-up truck in south Liberty County, according to authorities.At about 11:40 p.m. on Sunday, Liberty County Sheriff's Lead Investigator Linda Worley investigated a shooting that killed 33-year-old Christopher Jorgensen near County Road 126.
Investigators say three houses sit on one piece of property with Baty and Zachary living in one house and Jorgensen living in another. During the alleged argument between Zachary and Jorgensen, Baty ran into his house with Jorgensen behind him. Baty locked his bedroom door and secured his 12 gauge shotgun, according to Worley.Thinking that Jorgensen had gone away, Baty opened the door to find Jorgensen still standing at the door and advancing on him.
Baty told Worley that he then went to the front door and saw Jorgensen coming at him again, and that is when Baty fired a third shot that killed Jorgensen.
