A 12-year-old boy from Texas has been found "the equivalent of guilty" of murder for the shooting death of a Sonic employee in Keene, according to officials. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office shared the verdict on social media on Sunday, October 8.
Officials said the jurors deliberated nearly seven hours before finding the young boy "delinquent" on Thursday, October 5. The boy, who's from Fort Worth, was arrested on May 13 after police received multiple calls about a shooting at the Sonic Drive-In in Keene, about 40 miles southwest of downtown Dallas.
The shooting occurred after the boy's uncle Angel Gomez started urinating in the parking lot at the Sonic Drive-In, according to police. Sonic employee Matthew Davis, 32, confronted Gomez and an argument between the two became physical, officials said. Due to the fight, the 12-year-old boy got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots at Davis.
