Damaurie Mosley turned himself in on Sunday evening, police say.<\/p>\n

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. \u2014 An 18-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly shooting his stepfather<\/a> at his St. Pete home early Sunday morning, police say.<\/p>\n

According to an arrest affidavit, a verbal argument between Damaurie Mosley, 18, and his 34-year-old stepfather broke out when Mosley snuck back into the home on 4300 block of Cherry Street Northeast shortly after 4 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The argument turned violent when Mosley reportedly drew a black handgun from his waistband. Mosley then told his stepfather and someone else in the room that he would kill his stepfather, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

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

The shot struck his stepfather, leaving him with serious injuries, police say. According to the affidavit, Mosley’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

Police say that’s when Mosley left the house.<\/p>\n

The stepfather was transported to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, and police say he is in stable condition as of Monday morning.<\/p>\n

St. Pete police say Mosley turned himself in Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

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

Mosley is being charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder. He is currently awaiting trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Damaurie Mosley turned himself in on Sunday evening, police say. ST.
