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.
