Mosley then told his stepfather and someone else in the room that he would kill his stepfather, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Mosley then allegedly cycled the slide of the weapon, ejecting a live round and chambering another. The affidavit says Mosley raised the firearm, pointed it at his stepfather and fired one round directly at him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The shot struck his stepfather, leaving him with serious injuries, police say. According to the affidavit, Mosley&#8217;s stepfather and the other resident fled to a bedroom and barricaded the door while Mosley attempted to enter, repeating that he would kill his stepfather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police say that&#8217;s when Mosley left the house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The stepfather was transported to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, and police say he is in stable condition as of Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">St. Pete police say Mosley turned himself in Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The affidavit notes there was no indication of drug or alcohol influence or mental health issues. Mosley also reportedly admitted to the offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Mosley is being charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder. He is currently awaiting trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An 18-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly shooting his stepfather at his St. Pete home early Sunday&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[159022,202,204,203,199,201,200,20388,159023],"class_list":["post-399593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-damaurie-mosley","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news","tag-stepfather","tag-the-stepfather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
