On March 5, 2022, 21-year-old Dvonte Sutton of Dickinson, Texas, was found in his driveway with a gunshot wound to the neck and later died. The shooting followed a dispute over $40 that the alleged shooter, identified by witnesses as Sutton’s former childhood friend Jaron Bryce Morgan, said Sutton had stolen. Sutton’s girlfriend, who was at the scene, identified Morgan as the person who fired the weapon.

A physical struggle occurred and Morgan produced a handgun, which was used to shoot Sutton. Morgan and his girlfriend left the scene but were quickly taken into custody; items recovered from their vehicle included gloves, a hoodie, and the firearm.

Reports note Morgan had pending charges and was out on bond at the time, including assault and weapons-related counts. The girlfriend present at the shooting refused to testify and was held in contempt during the court proceedings. Does anyone have information about Sutton’s last day or about witnesses who were at the scene?
