No, the video and full evidence show Carruth was at his own home. He came out armed after Read arrived uninvited, escalated a custody argument, and refused to leave. Carruth fired a warning shot at Read's feet. Read then grabbed for the rifle; they grappled, and Carruth shot during the struggle.
Special grand jury reviewed everything in 2022 (full video + witnesses) and ruled self-defense under Texas law—no charges, no prison. Civil suit settled confidentially in 2024. Not murder.

Carrying a legal gun in Texas doesn't make it murder. The special grand jury reviewed the full video + evidence in 2022: Read showed up at Carruth's home, started the physical fight on the porch, and grabbed for the gun during the struggle. Texas law allows deadly force in self-defense there. No indictment, no charges, no prison. Civil suit settled confidentially in 2024. Not murder.
