Texas man who blamed elderly neighbor’s killing on ‘Lucifer’ charged with murder

A Texas man accused of murdering his elderly neighbor last week reportedly told police that he blacked out and “Lucifer” actually killed the victim. 

Tamorian Moore, 23, was arrested on Saturday and charged with first-degree murder after police found 81-year-old Leonard Foster’s body in his home. 

Someone called 911 on Saturday afternoon and said they went to check on Foster, but he wasn’t home and his car was gone. The caller added that they saw Moore driving around in Foster’s vehicle and carrying garbage bags out of his home.
