AUSTIN, TX The 22-year-old fighter was convicted Oct. 22nd for his role in
the beating of 40-year-old David Rivas Morales during a dispute in
an Austin parking lot. Colvin had been charged with manslaughter,
but jurors found him guilty of the lesser charge of aggravated
assault with serious bodily injury.
Police have said Morales died of blunt-force trauma to the head
after being attacked while trying to protect a driver who struck
and injured a toddler.
A 16-year-old boy who also punched Morales admitted to
manslaughter in juvenile proceedings and received eight years of
probation.
