    anywhere dream goes, he's brings clutchcity to them. thanks for derailing the thread about a sad incident about a dude dying.

    however, you can NEVER BEAT ME on a clutchcity debate. I hold the champions of 1994 in higher standard than gods or religions, so you want ClutchCity jihad, you got it!
    you just hate the Dream! I'm just defending him.

    1st arrest

    Budding boxer charged in fatal beating
    Austin police make first arrest in the Juneteenth death of Hispanic house painter

    AUSTIN — They called Golden Gloves boxer and high school track star Kurtiss Colvin "Lucky" on the east side of town, but that was before his arrest this week in the Juneteenth beating death of a Hispanic house painter.

    Colvin, 20, is being held on manslaughter, theft and assault charges as the first man arrested in the June 19 beating death of David Morales.

    "They called him 'Lucky' because he was lucky," amateur-boxing trainer Don "Pops" Billingsley of Austin said Thursday.

    "But he ain't too lucky now ... " added Billingsley, who trained Colvin and other at-risk youths on the east side.

    Police have said as many as five men attacked Morales when a crowd gathered after a car bumped a 2-year-old boy. Morales, a passenger in the vehicle, had come to the defense of the driver after members of the crowd assaulted him. The toddler was not seriously hurt.

    Colvin's arrest Tuesday was the first of several to come, police predicted.

    Austin officials have downplayed any official connection between Morales' beating death and a nearby Juneteenth celebration sponsored by the city to celebrate the day Texas slaves learned they'd been freed.

    But, when police responded to a 911 call from the housing project where Morales lived and suffered deadly blows to his head, they found a "large crowd surrounding the victim who was lying on the pavement," according to an arrest-warrant affidavit filed Thursday at the Travis County Courthouse.

    Residents at the Booker T. Washington Terraces housing project told the Houston Chronicle last month that the parking lot and nearby streets were jammed with cars and people who apparently were returning from the nearby festival.

    A group ranging from five to 20 people was involved "at various times" in assaults on the driver, Victor Medel, as well as the fatal assault on Morales, the arrest-warrant affidavit said.

    Several witnesses identified Colvin as the man they saw punch Morales with a left hook to the face, apparently so hard it knocked him to the pavement, perhaps unconscious.

    Three men who said Colvin was in a car with them at the scene of the crime told investigators they were among many who witnessed Colvin's assault.

    One of them, Charles Bernard Davis, said a female approached their car, told them about the toddler being struck and reported that the driver, Medel, was trying to flee.

    Colvin jumped out of the car, Davis said, approached the light-blue Ford Taurus and struck Medel with his fist through the driver's window. Next, Morales walked up to defend Medel.

    Several witnesses said Colvin asked a woman whether Morales was with her. When she said no, Colvin struck him on the left side of his face "so hard that Morales fell straight to the ground on his face," according to Davis.

    Claude Espinoza, 19, told police he arrived after hearing someone yell "fight" and saw a Hispanic man on the ground struggling to get up.

    He later identified Colvin as the man who then punched him in the face with an "uppercut."

    Witnesses also reported Colvin rifling through Morales' wallet, tossing it on the ground and uttering slurs about how the victim appeared broke.

    Colvin's boxing trainer, Billingsley, said he doubts Colvin was the only one to strike Morales, noting the young athlete did not pack a "heavy" punch.

    He said he remembers Colvin as a boy who often had to fend for himself.

    "At a young age, he was always sleeping on everybody's back doorstep. He was out there on his own," Billingsley said.

    The trainer, who noted that Colvin "lacked discipline," said he feels sorrier for the victim's family than the accused.

    After all, some of the at-risk youths he sought to help did better, he said.

    "I went looking for them," he said.

    "I trained them to fight, and I took them to church with me on Sundays. I teached them the perfect way and the knowledge of Christ.

    "Some took it to heart," he added. "You win some, you lose some."
