The suspect of a Llano County murder has claimed he shot a man in self defense, authorities said Tuesday.
Justin Lamb, 27, of Yuma, Ariz. was arrested on charge of murder after authorities were led to a Llano County ranch where a Mason man was slain.
Joshua Lee Jordan, 31, was found shot multiple times in the head and torso on Saturday morning, Nov. 19, while his three-year-old son slept in a nearby house.
“At about 3 a.m. Saturday morning, we had a call from the Stripes at Texas Highway 29 and Texas Highway 16,” said Llano County Sheriff Bill Blackburn.
The caller said there was a man at the location who told employees he had shot his friend on a nearby ranch.
“We went out to the ranch about nine miles west of Llano off County Road 403,” Blackburn said. “There we found a subject shot multiple times. He was deceased.”
Jordan's three-year-old son was asleep in the house nearby when the shooting occurred.
