'Loud Music' shooter, Michael Dunn testifies in Jacksonville, Florida

The "loud music" murder trial still continues today. Michael Dunn, 47 a software engineer was accused of shooting and killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis claiming that it was self defense.

The 2012 shooting happened when Dunn got in an argument with Davis, along with some of his friends over loud rap music in Jacksonville, Florida.

Dunn took the stand on Tuesday to testify representing himself in his own defense. Dunn who claims the killing was self-defense, is being tried in the state of Florida on one count of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder, and one count of firing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle for the November 23, 2012 shooting that killed Davis, according to Sun-Sentinel.

Dunn testified saying that he feared for his life.

"I thought I was going to be killed," he told the court.

The shooting took place at a gas station where Dunn, and his fiancee stopped to get wine on the way back to their hotel, where they had previously attended the wedding of Dunn's son.

Dunn, who comes off very confident on trial, was dressed in a green sweater with slacks and claims the music from the red Dodge Durango parked at the gas station became "really loud" as his fiancee went into the store to buy her items.

"My review mirror was shaking, my eardrums were vibrating. It was ridiculously loud," Dunn stated.

"I said, 'Can you turn that down please?'" he said. "They turned it off. I said thank you."

Dunn claims that the teenagers in the car started to use profanity at him, and then turned the volume of the music back up.

"I start hearing things like F-him and F-that," he said. "It was mean-spirited."

Dunn's attorney, Cory Strolla spoke to the jury in his opening statement claiming that Dunn opened fire after he saw what looked like the barrel of a gun or a lead pipe in the Durango's backseat window and making it clear that Dunn was acting in self-defense as Davis was appearing to get out of the car.

When the police arrived, no weapon was found in the vehicle after the shooting.

This case happened months after another compared shooting happened that same year, the Trayvon Martin shooting death also in Florida in February of 2012. George Zimmerman was found not guilty in that case.

In both of these shooting deaths, the victims were black teenagers killed by men who claimed they were defending themselves, after their lives were in danger.
