ALTUS, Okla. (TNN) - An Altus manâs lawyer says justice prevailed after his client was found non-guilty of first-degree murder.
Quamell Massenburg was accused of shooting and killing Tychance Martin in September 2019. Jurors deliberated for a few hours Thursday night before acquitting Massenburg.
His lawyer, Jason Lowe, says this was a simple case of a man protecting his family while Jackson County District Attorney David Thomas disagrees, saying the shooting that happened in September 2019 was murder.
