An Allentown man admitted Thursday to killing a man during a game of “quick draw” almost a year ago in Catasauqua, according to authorities.
Samuel Colon, 24, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in the Nov. 8 killing of Ti’Shaun Singleton, 19, at a home in the 200 block of Edward Lane, Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan said in a news release.
Colon faces a minimum sentence of 6 1⁄2 years in prison, and the presiding judge will determine the maximum sentence, the DA said. Colon will be sentenced in January.
Witnesses told authorities the two were playing a game called “quick draw,” in which they both drew weapons, according to police. As they drew, Colon shot and killed Lane, the DA said.
A child and several others were inside the home when the shooting happened, officials said. Colon fled and was at large until his arrested in April. The gun used in the shooting was not recovered.
