A 19-year-old Houston man is dead after police say he accidentally shot himself while taking 'selfies' while holding a gun.
Deleon Alonso Smith died of a gunshot wound to the throat about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at an apartment in southwestern Houston.
Investigators say Smith had found a gun and was taking pictures of himself and a cousin while holding the weapon and posting them to social media websites when the gun discharged, killing Smith.
Investigators say the cousin was in another room when the gun fired.
