A Temple man turned himself in to Killeen police Wednesday after he admitted to shooting a man because he was allegedly âbeing jumped by three people.â
Lakeith Leeshawn Moore, 24, of Temple, was booked into the Bell County Jail Thursday on a charge of aggravated assault bodily injury with a deadly weapon.
On April 27, according to an arrest affidavit, Killeen police were dispatched to the 300 block of Gilmer Street in reference to a shooting and a gunshot victim.
Upon arrival, a woman at the scene told police, âshe and (Moore) got into a verbal argument outside the apartment complex when Moore stole her car keys and cell phone and started walking off,â according to police.
The individual was arrested and detained for further investigation, said KPD spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez.
Around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, Killeen police officers went to the 300 block of North Gilmer Street in reference to a gunshot victim.
When police arrived, they saw a male with a gunshot wound, Miramontez said.
The male was transported to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple in critical condition.
âThis investigation is active and there is no other information at this time,â Miramontez said.
