Dallas man dies after hiring friend to shoot him in bizarre custody plot

A MAN died while executing a twisted plot to win custody of his child, myFOXdfw.com reports.

According to Dallas Police investigators, 20-year-old Dwayne Lamont Moten hired a friend to shoot him, intending to blame the crime on his wife's boyfriend and gain custody of his three-year-old son, Dwayne Jr.

"[This] was two individuals trying to frame a third individual," Senior Corporal Kevin Janse said.

Sr. Cpl. Janse said the plan was that Jacob Wheeler, also 20, would shoot Mr Moten but only injure him.

However, the bullets that struck Mr Moten on Saturday fatally wounded the forlorn father.

Mr Wheeler was charged with murder and an unrelated aggravated robbery charge. He remained in jail on a $US750,000 ($850,436) bond.

Police said both Mr Moten and Mr Wheeler had a criminal history and had been convicted of felonies.

"There's legal ways to get custody of a child and taking a bullet, and ultimately dying, is definitely not one of those ways," Sr. Cpl. Janse said.

Dude, I'm a father and I get doing what you have to do to get custody, but DUDE...

Dead people can't spend time with anybody.

Someone got a "DUMBASS" stamp... I need to stamp his head with that other than the one that says "DECEASED".

Natural selection works.

Ummm, yeah. There's a plan that was destined to fail miserably. In the spirit of G20...

Why, why are you dumb? Tell us why you're dumb! Tell us why you're dumb!
