For a Video Game Tournament Firm slated for a Houston event, the news of a stabbing over a video game in the Houston area is one of the last things we want hear. Thankfully, it appears the incident actually involved a T-shirt.....

 

HOUSTON (AP) -- A 15-year-old Houston boy is in juvenile custody on a murder charge over the stabbing death of his 17-year-old brother.

Houston police initially said they were investigating whether the fight involved a video game, but later determined the brothers were arguing about a T-shirt.

Police say the T-shirt belongs to the 15-year-old, who apparently got mad when the older boy wore it.

A detention hearing is scheduled Monday.

Police identified the stabbing victim as Robert Dewayne Benton. The dispute fight broke out Wednesday afternoon in an apartment.

Child Protective Services is also investigating.
