A Texas high school student has been charged with capital murder in the death of a 16-year-old runaway during a suspected drug deal gone wrong.
Victoria Duron, 17, claims her boyfriend, who is a minor and has not been named publicly, shot Tyrone Fiamahn dead, The Houston Chronicle reported.
Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were called to the motel in West Houston after a report of a possible death in one of the rooms around 8pm on December 16.
When they arrived they found Fiamahn with multiple gunshot wounds to his head, neck, back and arm.
Police believed he had been dead for several days, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Duron told investigators she knew Fiamahn as Knox and that he was her boyfriend’s drug supplier. She said her boyfriend sold narcotics he got from him.
Duron said the pair had met with the victim several times before the fatal shooting, court records reveal.
The night of his death Duron claimed Fiamahn accused her and her boyfriend of stealing drugs, which the couple denied.
She said her boyfriend then shot Fiamahn multiple times, court records obtained by DailyMail.com show.
Before fleeing, the pair rummaged though Fiamahn’s belonging stealing $1,000 and taking THC vapes from his backpack and the victims phone and rifle.
Duron said the pair went to her boyfriend’s uncles house where they both confessed to the killing.
She said the uncle helped the pair burn the clothing they were both wearing during the day of the shooting.
On December 16, video surveillance taken from the motel shows a man and a woman – wearing hooded jackets – getting dropped off in a Ford F150 Lyft truck.
The pair are seen knocking on the door, someone on the other side opens the door – the couple enter in the same room Fiamahn was found in, court records reveal.
According to court documents, cellphone records show Duron was near the motel at the time of the murder.
Duron gave a voluntary statement to police – that was made available in court documents on Tuesday – but investigators said in those documents she gave partial truths and lied several times in her statement.
It was still unclear which of Duron’s statements were considered false by authorities, and how that was determined.
There was no further information provided on Duron’s alleged boyfriend, according to Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
A GoFundMe has been created by a family member of Fiamahn to help with funeral expenses.
As of Wednesday, nearly $2,000 has been raised towards their goal of $20,000.
