Self-Defense Shooting Leaves One Man Dead

Posted: 8:14 am EDT June 22, 2006Updated: 11:58 am EDT June 22, 2006

The State Attorney's office will determine if charges will be filed against a man who said he shot and killed a 25-year-old in self defense. Orange County deputies said the fatal shooting was justified.

Late Wednesday night, Orange County deputies said 39-year-old Sylvester Andrews shot Antoine Jones when Jones charged at him with a knife.

The incident allegedly started when a dispute broke out inside the home on Brook Hollow Drive. Andrews said he had no choice to shoot Jones, because he feared his two daughters and his girlfriend's daughter were in danger.

Jones is the son of Andrews' girlfriend.

Early Thursday morning, Jones' family members were understandably distraught outside their home near Hunter's Creek.

"You killed him. You killed him!" screamed one of Jones' sisters.

The State Attorney's Office was reviewing the case.
