A teenager from Oklahoma is currently in custody after he reportedly dialed 911, confessing to fatally stabbing his brother in a fit of rage over a video game.

Authorities in Oklahoma City responded to a domestic disturbance involving a stabbing near Southeast 44th Street and Bryant Avenue around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, as reported by FOX 8.

Upon arrival, officers discovered that the two brothers, 19-year-old William Spencer and 25-year-old Nicholas Spencer, had been engaged in a gaming session. It was during this time that William allegedly became furious and attacked his brother with a knife.

Paramedics transported Nicholas Spencer to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 

“Very tragic story,” Master Sgt. Gary Knight said during a news conference, according to Law & Crime. “Two brothers who were playing video games. One became enraged over the game, got mad at the other and simply stabbed him to death.”

Immediately following the incident, William Spencer “stayed at the scene,” and was later “taken into custody, interviewed and then also booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center,” Knight reportedly said. 

William Spencer allegedly admitted to his role in the killing and was transported to the Oklahoma County Jail and booked on a charge of first-degree murder, Law & Crime reported. He remains in custody on $10 million bond. 

The Oklahoma City Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
