PA: Man charged in party shooting death to argue self-defense :: 09/13/2016
HOLLIDAYSBURG -- A defense attorney says a man charged in a shooting death at a Pennsylvania party last year will argue that he fired in self-defense.
Thirty-five-year-old Jorge Luis Gomez III will go to on trial Monday in Blair County on criminal homicide and aggravated assault charges in the May 2015 death of 28-year-old Kai Carter.
The Altoona Mirror reports that attorney Thomas Dickey said Friday that "for sure" self-defense will be one of his arguments on behalf of Gomez.
Authorities allege that Gomez shot Carter outside an Altoona party where people had gathered to watch the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao boxing match.
Carter ran after being shot, and his body was found between two nearby homes.
Gomez's attorneys have argued that he was "sucker-punched," fell to the ground and fired in self-defense.
