in the neck, back and

chest by his 19-year-old stepson Nickolas Vinson. The teen then posted a video to Snapchat bragging about the murder as his mother Celena Vinson screamed in horror. The couple were together for 14 years and raised Vinson and his 15-year-old brother, Kyle.
“Hey
guys I just killed him. I just killed him. I just killed him,” Vinson
could be heard said. “Lemar, can you hear me? Can you hear me? No!,” his
mother screamed. Vinson told police he killed his stepfather because
he “wanted to throw him out of the house.”
Text
messages showed the two at odds for some time, with Owensby asking
Vinson to perform simple duties like handling the chores and
contributing the household. After a few threats, the two allegedly
agreed to a fist fight. That Friday, Celena asked the men to talk out
their issues but her son refused to. The teen then baited his stepfather
into hitting him. Right before Owenbsy threw the first punch, Vinson
pulled out a 7-inch blade with a brass-knuckle-style handle and stabbed
him seven to nine times.
Police
found Vinson leaving the home. He reportedly wanted to tell his friends
goodbye and that he’d be “going away for a long time.” When he stepped
out the car, he was covered in blood.
Vinson is currently being held without bond at the Arapahoe County Jail and is expected in court today.
