KEMP (AP) — An east Texas man is jailed on a murder charge in the shooting death of his 23-year-old son after he allegedly spat on his mother. Marcus Russell Sides, 50, of Kemp remained in the Kaufman County Jail in Kaufman on Monday with bond set at $500,000 in the Sunday shooting of Tyler Reed Sides.
A statement issued Monday by the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office says the son had allegedly been drinking heavily all day and became belligerent toward his mother, even spitting on her several times. The ensuing fight between father and son ended with the son shot once in the abdomen. Tyler Sides died later Sunday after being transferred from a Kaufman hospital to one in Dallas.
