RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — A Riverton man is accused of killing his former roommate with a claw hammer during an argument.
The Riverton Ranger reports (https://goo.gl/XNiyTx ) 27-year-old Florin Brandon Wyatt is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 56-year-old Keith Stephenson, whose body was found in a home Sunday morning.
According to an affidavit, Wyatt told investigators he and Stephenson had been arguing Friday about the Denver Broncos when he retrieved and hid a hammer. Wyatt says Stephenson tried to hit him during an argument later than night, so he grabbed the hammer and struck the man in the head.
Wyatt was found in the victim's car in Pine Bluffs on his way to Nebraska on Sunday.
It's unclear if he has hired an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
