PINE GROVE TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Van Buren County man has gone on trial for the shooting death of his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.
It happened in June when Troy Taylor tried to drop off his son at his ex-wife’s house in Gobles and she wasn’t there.
It turned out she was engaged in a sex act with her boyfriend, Tim Henley nearby in his Jeep and was discovered by her daughter.
In the upset and anger that followed, police said Henley began punching the windows in Taylor’s BMW, shattering the driver’s side window.
That’s when Taylor pulled out a hand gun and fired three times at Henley, who would die from the wounds.
On Tuesday, Taylor’s son, who was sitting in the backseat, testified he was scared.
Taylor claims it was self-defense, but the prosecution claims it was second degree murder.
Testimony will resume Wednesday morning.
