A Texas man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a driver who authorities believe was using his driveway to turn his car around.
Terry Turner, 65, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge Wednesday in the death of Adil Dghoughi, 31, outside his home in Martindale, about 50 miles from Austin, Caldwell County District Attorney Fred Weber said.
“It is our belief that Dghoughi was trying to get to his girlfriend’s residence, and he went to the wrong house,” Weber said.
Turner told authorities he woke up on Oct. 11 and saw a strange car parked in the driveway of his house, according to court documents.
Turner claimed that he grabbed his gun and chased the car as it was backing out of the driveway. But when the driver pulled a gun on him, he fired a single shot into the car.
Prosecutors, however, said a gun was not found in Dghoughi’s car.
Dghoughi, who was a Moroccan immigrant, moved to Austin in 2019 after receiving an MBA from Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island.
No hearing has been set for Turner’s next court date. He could spend up to life in prison if convicted.
The shooter should never have fired.
The car was backing out so any perceived threat was mitigated.
He wasn’t following a line of logic and responsibility to defend his property and life but rather a very inflated “Get off my lawn” emotional response.
OPEN BORDERS , SHORTAGES, RIOTING, RAPES, KILLINGS, CHILD MURDERS, DRUG CARTEL TAKING OVER THE BORDER AND EVERYTHING HAPPENING is causing the PEOPLE to get very afraid and jumpy and its JUST GETTING STARTED ! . . . . A car turning around in your driveway is not cause to shoot into the car ! Drastic times cause DRASTIC ACTIONS ! Thank the Democrat Voters for all this ! ! !
I would be just like the shooter. I don’t blame him at all. Why would the morrocan guy not know where his girlfriend lived? And why was he carrying a gun? He probably was up to no good. I hope the shooter gets off. We need to quit bringing foreigners into our country.
They found no gun in his car.
So they say,I don’t trust anyone,never know it could be WOKE Prosecutor
I agree.You never know anymore.
