Suspect charged with murder for allegedly killing Harris County car thief: What are your rights to protect your property?
SUMMARY: A man in Houston, Dushawn Caples, is charged with murder after chasing and shooting a person who stole his car. His attorney claims it was self-defense. Caples heard his car being stolen, grabbed a gun, and followed the thief, ultimately shooting and killing a 17-year-old named Danell Cotton. Texas law allows deadly force to protect property, but specific circumstances may work against the shooter. In a similar case with a stolen BBQ pit, the shooter was not immediately charged. The decision to charge Caples will be determined by the District Attorney’s Office and a grand jury. The case highlights the complexities of self-defense laws in Texas.
