FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Two teenage suspects in a deadly shooting on Wells Street last week claim it was in self-defense, newly filed court records say.

Jayden Cosme, 18, and 19-year-old Jaylen Murray are both facing murder charges in the death of 59-year-old Laron Duane Rosse, who was shot in the 2600 block of Wells Street.

All three men were inside Rosse’s home before the shooting, according to court records. A witness told police the men were arguing and then got into a physical altercation where Cosme and Murray were assaulting Rosse.

The witness told police Murray allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband during the scuffle and fired multiple rounds at the victim, court records show. The suspects allegedly fled the scene after the shooting.
