LPD says Conner was eventually shot in the hand, and as he tried to bet back into the Porsche, he ran into Winn, who had ducked down behind a backseat door. When Connor bumped into Winn, his gun went off, and Winn was fatally shot in the chest.
According to authorities, Conner pulled Winn into the SUV and fled. Police learned that when Conner called 911 to report a gunshot victim at a nearby apartment complex, Winn was in the backseat.
On Saturday morning, Conner was taken into custody by Lewisville PD. He is booked in the Denton County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
