TYLER – A Tyler man will be going to prison after pleading guilty to the shooting death of his cousin in a dispute over a blanket. The trial of Danez Dewayne Black, 29, was scheduled to have started yesterday morning in 241st State District Court. Instead, Black pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He had been accused of the shooting death of Marquis Dwain Black last October.
