OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An ex-convict accused of shooting his friend to death in Omaha following an argument over a flat tire will stand trial for first-degree murder in the death.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that 37-year-old William Snoddy was ordered Monday to stand trial on the murder count and three weapons charges in the January death of 46-year-old Daron Hunter of Omaha.
A police detective testified Monday during a hearing for Snoddy that the two men got into a fight while trying to fix a flat tire.
Police say when Hunter got in his car to leave, Snoddy fired a gun at Hunter's car four times, hitting Hunter twice in the chest.
Snoddy's public defender suggested that Snoddy shot Hunter in self-defense.
