An incoming high school senior has been charged for murder after investigators allegedly saw a Snapchat video he posted at the crime scene where he shot a man who was selling him marijuana.
While the sheriff’s department did not provide additional details, the Houston Chronicle reported that detectives identified Underwood through his Snapchat account. After the 17-year-old was taken into custody on a warrant, Underwood told investigators he shot Bates because he thought he would “rob him when he pulled out his money,” as reported by the Houston paper.
His attorney, Jed Silverman told the Houston Chronicle that his client is “extremely upset” about the situation.
